Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or spray a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt until well blended. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese to evenly distribute it.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix which can make the texture tough.
- Prepare for Baking: Spoon or pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, remove it from the pan, slice into bites, and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb texture.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite type of cheese for variation.
- Serve these bites as appetizers, snacks, or alongside soups and salads.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
