These delectable muffins are so rich they can be served with nothing more than a large green salad for a luncheon.

Ingredients

　　1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

　　1 tablespoon sugar

　　2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

　　1/2 teaspoon salt

　　3 cups coarsely grated Cheddar cheese

　　1 egg

　　1 cup milk

　　1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter

　　Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir the Cheddar into the dry ingredients until all the particles of cheese are coated with flour. Beat the egg with the milk and stir this into the flour mixture until just blended, then add the butter. Bake the batter in greased muffin tins for 20 minutes.
