Who doesn’t love a quality muffin? The mouthful, wholesome taste, flavor, and fluffiness are just some of the reasons people love this tasty treat – and you can be sure that it won’t wane any time soon. Whether you’re munching on a homemade muffin or getting one from your local bakery, this delicious treat remains a favorite.
If you have not come to terms with making your muffins at home, now may be the time you give it a try. It shouldn’t consume much of your time if you’ve got a quality muffin mix within reach. Having this (mix) is a big time-saver as you can bake your muffins in about 30 – 45 minutes – depending on the quantity you intend to make. You can consider getting some done for this weekend and have a few stored in the refrigerator for the week ahead.
But, before you go into the kitchen to make your muffins, you should think about a few things that will assist you in creating cups of muffins that are visually appealing and satisfying to your taste buds. While mixing the batter, keep in mind that it’s OK to leave some lumps in the mix. This will impart a distinct puffiness to the muffin, giving it an excellent shape and texture when finished. Prepare the wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls, then combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
