Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Bisquick
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1½ Tbsp sugar
- 1 cup prepared pimento cheese (Palmetto brand recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick, sugar, buttermilk, and pimento cheese. Stir until all ingredients are blended smoothly. If the batter feels too thick, add a few more tablespoons of buttermilk to achieve a scoopable consistency.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Using a tablespoon, scoop a heaping amount of the dough into each well of the prepared mini muffin pan, filling nearly to the top.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the muffins have risen and are golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven, allow them to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory snack or accompaniment.
Notes
- Use prepared pimento cheese for convenience and best flavor; avoid substituting with plain cheese for a less authentic taste.
- If you prefer larger muffins, adjust the baking time accordingly and use a regular muffin pan instead of mini.
- Adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika can enhance the flavor profile with a subtle kick.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days, and reheat briefly before serving.
- These muffins are great for parties, brunches, or as an appetizer with soups and salads.
