Steps:
- Set oven to 350 degrees (second-lowest oven rack).
- Grease 12 muffin tins.
- Set aside 1/4 cup grated cheese.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper and green onions; stir in crumbled bacon and 1 cup cheddar cheese.
- In another bowl whisk together milk, oil, sour cream and eggs until well blended; pour over dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Divided between the muffin tins.
- Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup (can use more) cheddar cheese on top of each muffin batter.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until the muffins test done.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your muffins.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the muffins will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the muffins will take too long to bake and they will be dry.
- Let the muffins cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and will make them easier to handle.
