They really are very simple to make if you follow a few rules and make great portable snacks. \u0026nbsp; They needn't just be sweet either. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Savoury muffins are lovely served with soups, stews or salads.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EMuffin Tips\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n1.\u0026nbsp; I always tend to us a 12 cup muffin tin, each cup having a capacity of about 1\/3 cup of batter.\u0026nbsp; This is pretty much the standard\u0026nbsp; size for non-stick muffin tins today.\u0026nbsp; You can also find larger or smaller pans. \u0026nbsp; Simply adjust the baking time by about five minutes more for larger tins and five minutes less for smaller tins. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n2.\u0026nbsp; Most muffin recipes offer dire warnings, such as DON'T overmix.\u0026nbsp; Fill your muffin cups only a fraction of the way, etc.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Ignore all of this and just use common sense.\u0026nbsp; Obviously overmixing results in a less tender muffin and they can be filled with holes, but so long as you stir the ingredients together just to make a batter you will be okay.\u0026nbsp; Never use an electric mixer because this WILL result in tough muffins.\u0026nbsp; Mixing by hand is the preferred method.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n3.\u0026nbsp; Your batter will range anywhere from runny (cake batter) to very thick (drop cookie dough like) depending on what ingredients you are using.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; As a general rule,\u0026nbsp; the thinner the batter, the lighter the muffins will be when baked.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Don't worry if your batter is thick and gloppy.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; You are in for a treat because a thick and gloppy batter will yield moist muffins with extra staying power.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n4.\u0026nbsp; Buttermilk, and yogurt give muffins a special moistness and flavour.\u0026nbsp; Note, whenever you use these in a muffin, you must add 1\/4 tsp of baking soda to counter-act the acidity of these ingredients and help them to raise properly.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n5.\u0026nbsp; Keep the pantry stocked with imaginative add-ins for muffins.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Raisins, dried berries and fruits, nuts, pineapple, coconut, etc all add extra flavours and interest.\u0026nbsp; You can also add dry or cooked breakfast cereals, wheat germ, seeds or granola to the batter.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n6.\u0026nbsp; Grease muffin tins well before adding the batter.\u0026nbsp; (I save my butter papers for this use.)\u0026nbsp; Most of the time I really prefer to use a well greased pan rather than a paper for lining the baking tins, but the paper liners to make them easier to transport if you are taking them someplace.\u0026nbsp; Otherwise I like to just well butter the pan.\u0026nbsp; Don't forget to butter the tops of the tin as well.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n7.\u0026nbsp; If you don't have quite enough batter to fill all of your muffin cups, fill the empty ones with some water to help prevent them from scorching or warping.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n8.\u0026nbsp; For an extra bit of specialness, before baking muffins, sprinkle them with some sugar, or cinnamon sugar, coconut flakes, granola, chopped nuts, etc.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; You can also make a streusel topping by combining 140g (1 cup) flour, 200g soft light brown sugar (1 cup), 80g of rolled oats (1 cup), 2 tsp cinnamon and 120g (1\/2 cup) of cold butter cut into bits.\u0026nbsp; I pulse these together in a food processor until the mixture forms fine crumbs.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; You can store this in a covered jar in the freezer and just use as needed.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n9.\u0026nbsp; To jazz up leftover muffins, cut them in half, butter each half and then pop them under the grill (broiler) for a couple of minutes.\u0026nbsp; You can also reheat them in the microwave, but do be careful as they can quickly get soggy and really don't need as much time as people think they do to reheat.\u0026nbsp; I like to place them on a piece of kitchen toweling and only heat them on high for about 15 to 20 seconds.\u0026nbsp; It's usually enough, depending on the ferocity of your microwave.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n10.\u0026nbsp; Have fun with them.\u0026nbsp; Don't be afraid to add things to your muffins for added interest, texture and flavours.\u0026nbsp; I have used chopped dates in these muffins today, but if dates aren't your thing, add something that is.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Chopped stem ginger would be lovely with the coconut as would dried cranberries.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n11.\u0026nbsp; As a rule of thumb I always like to mix the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients together separately and then combine them with each other, usually adding the dry to the wet instead of the other way around.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;
