Muffin baking tips and tricks for beginners
For everyone who still feels unsure about baking muffins, here are a few tips and tricks:- It is important that all the ingredients are at the same temperature. The eggs and milk should therefore be taken out of the refrigerator in good time.
- The dry ingredients should always be mixed well before mixing with the liquid ingredients.
- Don't stir for too long! As soon as all the ingredients are well mixed, you should stop stirring, otherwise the dough can become tough.
- An oven thermometer can help determine the exact temperature.
- Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving, otherwise they may fall apart.
