What is the secret to good muffins

Here are some tips from Australia’s Best Recipes that will help us make fabulous muffins.

1. Mix Wet And Dry Ingredients Separately

Mix your wet ingredients in one bowl and your dry ingredients in another. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. Stir the mixture a couple of times till roughly mixed. This prevents the batter from being overworked.

2. Don’t Over Stir

Your goal is just to moisten the ingredients and not stir the batter until it’s lump free. The final mixture should be lumpy, thick and floury.

3. Don’t Overfill

The muffin cup should be 3/4’s full. This will keep the batter from spilling over and produce nice round muffin tops.

4. Fill Up The Pan

There’s not always enough batter to fill all the muffin cups. Fill the empty cups half way with water. This helps the muffins bake evenly and protect the pan from buckling.
