Tips:

  • Muffin Pan Size: Use a standard 12-cup muffin pan. If you have a mini muffin pan, you can make 24 mini muffins.
  • Muffin Liners: Use parchment paper or silicone muffin liners for easy cleanup. If you don't have muffin liners, grease the muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • Measuring Ingredients: Use measuring cups and spoons to accurately measure ingredients. This will ensure that your muffins turn out perfectly.
  • Mixing Ingredients: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Muffin Batter Consistency: The batter should be thick and pourable, like pancake batter. If the batter is too thin, add more flour. If the batter is too thick, add more milk.
  • Baking Time: Bake the muffins according to the recipe instructions. Overbaking can make the muffins dry.
  • Cooling Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
