Baking Muffins Right - Quickly Stirred
Baking muffins is a piece of cake. Start by thoroughly mixing all the"dry" ingredients such as flour, baking powder, chocolate, nuts, and spices in one bowl. Combine the"wet" ingredients like eggs, oil, dairy products and fruit, juice, or alcohol in a second bowl. Then add the "dry" ingredients to the "wet" ingredients and stir briskly for just a moment. If you stir the batter too long, the muffins will be dry. It's also important to place the finished batter into the preheated oven as quickly as possible. If it sits too long, the muffins will be heavy and dry.

Good in the Tin
Whether you spoon the baiter directly into the tin or use paper baking cups, depends entirely on your own preference and on your muffin tin. For the recipes in this blog, we use a standard muffin tin with 12 muffin cups measuring 3 inches in diameter and made of various materials. Experience shows thai muffins bake best in nonstick tins, which requite very little fat. If you use an aluminum or black-plated muffin tin, it's belter to line the tin with baking cups so you'll have no problems removing the finished muffins. Another lip when using a greased muffin tin is to briefly place the tin in the refrigerator or freezer, Then the cold, solidified grease will bind with the batter more slowly during baking, causing the muffins to develop a beautiful crust and making them easier to remove from the tin.

Method of Making Muffin

Off to the Oven
Once the muffins are in the tin, stick them in the oven right away. It's important that the oven be properly preheated if the muffins are to rise and have a light, fluffy texture. Because the baking the time for muffins is very short, you can also use a convection oven. The ideal baking temperature is 350°F (320°F for a convection oven). Simply place the tin on the middle rack and bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Then leave them in the tin for 5-10 minutes, remove, and cool on a cake rack.

Step 1
Make sure to mix dry and wet ingredients separately, then stir together briefly.

Step 2
Line non coated tins with paper baking cups; grease nonstick muffin tins.
