Muffins are often hit or miss for most people. Sometimes, they are perfectly shaped and just the right amount of moist, while other times, they fall apart or turn out dried out. If you would like to have more good muffins in your life than bad ones, then you should follow the tips from television personality and cookbook author Ina Garten.
On top of her cookbooks and cooking and food-relate shows, Garten often shares some of her recipes and cooking wisdom with followers on social media. She recently posted a video on Instagram in which she tried out a new recipe for blueberry muffins and used the opportunity to share some baking tips for muffins.
According to Garten, she always greases the top of the muffin tin so the muffins don’t get stuck. Also, she uses an ice cream scoop to distribute the muffin batter, as this leads to “uniform muffins.”
If you want your muffins to have a crunchy top, Garten recommends sprinkling them with sugar before baking. Finally, she also keeps a thermometer in the oven to ensure that her muffins are baked at the perfect temperature.
We don’t know about you, but we will try out these tips. Our muffin-making routine could definitely use them.
