Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s a few tips to making great muffins. Don’t over mix the batter, mix wet and dry ingredients separately, don’t overfill the muffin tins and don’t over bake the muffins.
You can use both butter and oil in muffins. I generally prefer using butter for the flavour. But using oil results in moister muffins that will last longer.
By starting the oven off on a higher temperature like 425 degrees c and then reducing the heat about 5 minutes into baking.
Cupcakes generally contain more sugar and more fat content. As well, cupcakes are often frosted.
