Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease generously.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, beaten egg, and milk.
4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Gently fold in the thinly sliced leeks and shredded cheddar cheese.
5
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Fill each cup about two-thirds full.
6
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
