Today I felt like cheese and my mother’s muffins — the ones I craved when I was young. Mmmmm. These Cheddar Biscuits are a good combination.  The fact that they are super easy to make is a major bonus.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup  milk
• 3 tablespoons  unsalted butter, melted & then cooled
• 1 large  egg, lightly beaten
• 1 pinch  cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 3⁄4cups  all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon  baking powder
• 1 tablespoon  granulated sugar
• 1⁄2teaspoon  salt
• 3⁄4cup grated sharp cheddar cheeseInstructions

1. In a large bowl, combine milk, melted butter, egg & cayenne.
2. In a second bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar& salt.
3. Stir in cheese.
4. Add flour mixture to milk mixture and stir batter until it is just combined.
5. The batter should be lumpy.
6. Spoon the batter into muffin tins (buttered or lined) filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake 20- 25 minutes.
