Wisconsin beer cheese muffins

Cheese and beer muffins are a delicious preparation originating from the state of Wisconsin, known in the United States as "America's Dairyland" for its renowned dairy production, especially of cheddar cheese. This recipe combines the richness of cheese with the characteristic flavor of beer, resulting in a savory and fluffy muffin ideal for accompanying meals or enjoying as a snack. In other Latin American countries, although there is no specific name for this mixture, this type of cheese bread is usually called "cheese muffins" or simply savory muffins, and the addition of beer is a variant that adds a special and unconventional touch.

The popularity of this recipe has been growing due to its simplicity and the balance between the ingredients that highlights both the flavor of the cheese and the aroma of the beer. It is common to find similar versions in areas where craft beer is an important part of the culinary culture, although the original Wisconsin recipe stands out for using excellent quality cheddar cheese. Without a doubt, it is an ideal option for those looking to innovate in the kitchen with easy and tasty savory preparations.

How to Make Wisconsin Cheese and Beer Muffins

To begin, preheat the oven to 200°C and lightly grease the muffin tin; this will ensure the muffins do not stick when baked.

In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: beer, egg, and oil.

Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until combined. Finally, add the grated cheddar cheese and mix carefully so it is evenly distributed in the batter.

Divide the mixture into the prepared molds, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once out of the oven, let the muffins rest for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan to maintain their shape and texture.
