Welcome to the new Baking By Design blog! The purpose of this blog is to inform potential customers of the goods I have to offer, as well as to get your feedback if you've tried my goodies before.
For my first blog post, I'd like to offer some tips to those at home who prefer to bake their own goodies. Today I am focusing on Muffins. Here are some simple tips to get the best muffins:
1) Throw away the paper liners ~ Instead, liberally spray cooking oil on your muffin pans, including the top surface.
2) Don't overfill ~ Some recipes instruct you to fill the muffin cups right to the top. I find that the muffin top ends up sticking, leaving you with the frustrating task of trying to pry them free. Fill muffin cups one half to two-thirds full.
3) If you don't have enough batter to fill all the cups in your tin, fill the empty ones halfway with water ~ this helps the muffins to bake evenly, and also provides extra moisture while baking.
