Tips:
- Use fresh or softened butter: Cold butter will make your muffins tough, so make sure it's at room temperature before you start baking. If you don't have time to wait for the butter to soften, you can microwave it on low power for a few seconds, just until it's soft enough to mix.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups to the top: This will help the muffins rise evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dense.
- Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Check the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
