Preheat: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tray and set aside.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the grated cheddar cheese until well combined.
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate measuring cup, crack the egg and top it up with milk until it reaches 250ml. Beat the egg and milk mixture slightly until combined.
Combine Ingredients: Add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a soft but firm dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a little water to adjust the consistency.
Form Puffs: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, portion the dough into the greased muffin tray, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese puffs are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Serve: Remove the cheese puffs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delicious snack or alongside your favorite meals.

These cheese puffs are best enjoyed fresh from the oven but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Simply reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
Feel free to customize these cheese puffs by adding herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor.
If you’re serving these cheese puffs as part of a meal, they pair beautifully with cold meats, salads, or soups.
