Homemade muffins - tips and tricks
• Who says butter is better than margarine? In fact this is not true. First of all, we look at the fat content of the product. From margarine, 80% of baking is much better than from butter, or rather, an incomprehensible product with 50% fat.
• So that candied fruits, raisins and other pieces are evenly distributed in the dough, they must first be mixed with flour, and only then combined with the liquid mass.
• To determine the readiness of the cake, you just need to pierce it with a wooden torch (a toothpick, a match). If it is dry and not sticky, you can take out the baked goods.
• Even the most boring cupcake will be more fun if it is decorated with icing, fondant, grease with syrup and sprinkle with nuts. Or maybe cut and layered with cream?
• It is believed that cupcakes do not like movement. And if the form is put in the oven, then it does not touch until the very end. Then the oven is turned off, the door is slightly opened and the products are allowed to cool slightly. After that you can get it.
