Step-by-step preparation
1. Preheat the oven
to 190°C (375°F) and grease a 12-muffin pan thoroughly. You can use butter, oil, or nonstick spray. This helps ensure the muffins brown perfectly and won’t stick.
2. Mix the liquid ingredients.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the warm milk and melted butter. The mixture should be smooth and lump-free.
3. Combine the dry ingredients
. In another bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Then, gradually add this dry mixture to the liquid mixture, stirring gently until you have a smooth dough.
4. Add the cheese.
Add the grated cheese to the mixture and stir gently, just enough to distribute it evenly. Don’t overmix.
5. Fill the molds.
Pour the batter into the molds, filling each space about 3/4 full. Allow room for the muffins to rise in the oven.
6. Bake
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool and serve.
Once ready, let them rest for about 5 minutes before removing them from the mold. Ideally, they should be served while still warm… their aroma and texture will be irresistible!
