Notes
Tips
- Before you begin, make sure the butter is softened. This will help it mix into the other ingredients easier.
- When taking out your butter to soften to room temperature, take out the eggs and milk also. This way, these ingredients will also incorporate better with the rest of the ingredients.
- Place cupcake liners in your muffin pan cups to ensure the muffins will come out of the pan easier.
- Don't over-mix the batter to ensure that the muffins are light and fluffy. Mix just until the wet ingredients and dry ingredients are just barely combined, and you no longer see flour in the mix.
