- Divide the muffin batter between 12 paper muffin cases in a 12 hole muffin tin, and bake in a preheated oven for 16 -18 minutes until golden brown. Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before tucking in (if you can wait that long!).
Notes
Top Tips:
- Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature before starting the recipe. The melted butter needs to be allowed to cool, before adding it to the wet ingredients.
- Don't over mix the muffin batter, as that will result in tough muffins. Gently mix the dry and wet ingredients together, just long enough to combine them.
- For a high domed muffin, preheat the oven to 20 degrees ABOVE the specified temperature in the recipe card. As soon as you put the muffins in the oven, turn it back down. The high heat will help the raising agent to start working.
