Some useful tips
There are tricks that will help prepare muffins no worse than they are obtained from professional chefs:
- for baking desserts Teflon forms with straight edges are best suited;
- Silicone molds do not lubricate at all, while others only need to lubricate the bottom, not touching the walls. So beautiful muffins with a convex upper part turn out;
- unless otherwise indicated in the recipe, the mold is filled to two thirds of the volume. If you pour more, then at temperature processing the dessert will simply “run away”, and the shape of the finished cake will be hopelessly spoiled.
