Hi everybody, today I am going to give you the perfect tips to making a perfect muffin. When you make a muffin, you want it to be fluffy and with a dome like top. If you make a muffin wrong, you end up with a tuff muffin with a peak like top and a air bubble in the middle. THIS IS NOT GOOD! Some tips I have to making sure this doesn’t happen is:
- Mix the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients separately- Usually when it comes to a recipe, I just put all the ingredients together, but when it comes to muffins, you want it to be smooth and well blended.
- My cheat for making a SUPER fluffy muffin- I do this by exchanging a certain ingredient, oil. Instead of oil, I use butter or margarine (it doesn’t really matter which one). When you use this, it makes it so the muffin has a creamier taste and is lighter. The way that works is that when the butter finally melts in the muffin, it leaves these miniature air bubbles all over the muffin which makes for a REALLY fluffy muffin.
- When you mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, fold in don't use an electric mixer- The reason you do this is because if you mix it too much, it will become stiff and will make a peak top not a dome top. This is not good so when you mix it in, you put all the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients and you fold in until just blended cause if you mix to much it will be hard when it is done cooking.
- Make a sugar crust on the top- I like to sprinkle a little sugar over the top of the muffin before I put it in the oven because when it comes out, it has this top that cracks a little. It is beautiful and tasty.
So when you make your muffin, remember these tips and you will be baking like a pro in no time.
