Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast

Wet Ingredients & Mix-ins

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/3 cup chopped scallions

For Cooking

  • 1 tbsp butter (for griddle)
  • Cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon instant yeast. Stir to blend the ingredients evenly.
  2. Add Warm Milk and Form Dough: Pour in 1 cup of warm milk and stir until a sticky dough begins to form, ensuring all the flour is incorporated.
  3. Incorporate Cheese and Scallions: Gently fold in 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar and 1/3 cup chopped scallions into the dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
  4. Shape the Muffins: After rising, dust a clean surface with cornmeal, transfer the dough, then roll it out gently. Cut the dough into round shapes, typically about 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
  5. Second Rise: Place the rounds on a surface dusted with cornmeal and allow them to rise for an additional 20 minutes until puffed.
  6. Preheat Griddle: Preheat a dry skillet or griddle over low to medium heat. Lightly grease with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.
  7. Cook Muffins: Place the rounds on the skillet and cook for 7–9 minutes on each side, or until the muffins develop a golden brown crust and are cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Transfer the cooked muffins to a wire rack and allow them to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use warm milk (around 105°F) to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
  • Make sure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the muffins before they cook through.
  • For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary along with scallions.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Reheat by toasting for best texture.
