FAQ's about baking muffins
Why are my muffins flat? The answer probably his connected to the two agents in the recipe that help baked goods rise. That would be baking powder and baking soda. If these are old they can lose their potency and power to react with the acid in the sour cream.
Is it better to bake muffins with oil or butter? While oil will help build a stronger structure for your muffins, butter is where the flavor is at.
What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake? It's really just the texture. Cupcakes are lighter as you'd expect a cake to be but muffins are more dense and heavier.
What temperature do muffins get baked at? Begin baking in a hot oven, at least 400 degrees F to set the initial burst from the baking powder and baking soda. Then turn down the heat a little to 375 and continue baking until done.
How do I know when my muffins are done baking? You can insert a toothpick and if it comes out dry, then they should be good. I always test my baked goods by lightly pressing down on the top. If they are baked the muffin should spring back to its original shape and not leave a dent.
