Did you know? Muffins fall in the “quick bread” category and is similar to pancakes. I’ve been trying to get the texture right for my muffins and I think I’ve finally achieved it. I like my muffins a little dense but yet soft in the middle and slightly crisp at the top. I do not like it to be overly sweet as well so the amount of sugar I use is always as much as the butter I am using.

Another thing I’ve learnt is to not over mix the batter AND to let the batter sit in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flour to absorb the liquid in the batter for a more moist muffin. A quick burst of higher heat at the first 3 mins also creates THAT oven spring for the dome shaped muffins you normally see and wish you could achieve! …
