Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 buns
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Milk
- Cheddar cheese, shredded
- Butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, measure out 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Add the cheese to the dry ingredients and mix gently.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of melted butter and stir the mixture until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 12 evenly spaced mounds.
- Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top of each bun for extra flavor and a golden crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the buns cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, soft buns as a side dish or quick snack.
Tips
- Use room temperature milk and freshly shredded cheese for the best texture and melting properties.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make the buns tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For extra flavor, try using different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or a blend of cheeses.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh to ensure the buns rise properly.
- For a golden, glossy top, brush the buns with melted butter right before baking.
- Let the buns cool slightly on the baking sheet to help them set and prevent crumbling.
- These buns are best served warm, but they can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
