Questions about Muffin
How do you stop muffins from drying out?
Once completely cool, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature and eat them within two or three days. A paper towel under and over the muffins helps absorb moisture without trapping condensation.
Can you freeze muffins, and how do you thaw them?
Yes. Wrap each cooled muffin well or freeze them in an airtight container for up to three months. Defrost at room temperature, or warm from frozen in an oven at 160 °C for about 10–15 minutes.
Why do muffins sink in the middle?
They often sink because the oven door was opened before the centre had set, or because the batter was overmixed or had too much raising agent. Mix just until the dry ingredients disappear, and test the centre with a skewer before taking them out.
How do you know when muffins are baked?
The tops should spring back when lightly pressed, and a skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean or with a few dry crumbs. If it comes out with wet batter, bake for another few minutes.
What goes well with a muffin?
A plain muffin is good with butter, jam or cheese; a fruit muffin pairs well with yoghurt. For a more substantial snack, serve one with a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit.
