Muffin Making Tips
Keep a batch of unbaked muffins in the freezer, and you'll always have breakfast or an afternoon snack ready for the oven. There's no need to thaw. The batter goes in the paper-lined muffin tin, then into the freezer. Once frozen, the individual cups can be transferred to plastic storage bags. Be sure to bake the batter in a muffin tin, though, to give the muffins shape. (from MathaStewart.com)
When the batter does not fill all the muffin cups in a pan, pour about 1 inch (2.5 cm) water into empty cups to prevent them from burning.
Let baked muffins cool in pan for about five minutes. This allows the still-hot and delicate structure to firm up before being transferred to racks.
Muffins can be stored in freezer for up to two weeks. To freeze, let cool completely before wrapping individually in plastic wrap and enclosing in airtight freezer bag or freezer container.
To warm a muffin straight from the freezer, microwave at High for about 20 seconds. (from CanadianLiving.com)
Be careful not to over-mix the batter when combing the liquid and dry ingredients together. Over mixing results in the development of gluten, which makes for a dense, tough muffin.
For most recipes, it is ok to replace up to half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
No buttermilk in the house? Substitute 1 cup milk plus one Tablespoon of either lemon juice or vinegar. Add to the milk and let stand 5 minutes or so, then use in place of buttermilk in the recipe.
