    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat oven to 400°F. and butter twelve 1/3-cup muffin cups.


    In a small bowl stir together 2 tablespoons milk and goat cheese until combined. Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Melt butter and in another small bowl whisk together with remaining milk and egg. Finely chop enough scallions to measure 1 cup.
