How do I make sure my muffins don't stick?

Spray the bottom of each muffin cup with no-stick cooking spray. The amount of fat in the muffin batter affects how easily the baked muffin can be removed from the pan. Lightly spray the bottom of each muffin cup with no-stick cooking spray or use paper or aluminum foil cup liners. Use aluminum foil cup liners.

Do you need muffin liners to make muffins?

While muffin liners are not necessary for baking, they can often be a good idea. ... There's no need to grease baking pans when using liners, saving you some time and effort. Liners reduce wear and tear on the nonstick finish of your pan since little to no oil or batter will come in contact with the pan.

How do you know when muffins are ready?

Check for doneness by touching the muffin top lightly and it will spring back when ready. Or, insert a toothpick near the center (muffins, quick bread, or cornbread.) It will be free of batter when baked through.

How long should I let my muffins cool?

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan. Usually five minutes is long enough to allow the muffins to cool slightly and regain their composure before you pop them out of the tin. Longer than 5 minutes could result in soggy muffins so be sure to watch the clock.

How can you tell if a cake is done without a toothpick?

Look at your knife set and find the one with the thinnest blade. Then insert the blade into the center of the cake. If the knife comes out clean, the cake is done. If batter or crumbs stick to the blade, let your cake bake a few minutes more and retest with a clean knife.

Can I Rebake undercooked muffins?

If you see mushy, uncooked portions in the muffins, put them back in the tins. Slide them into the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, with just a few moist crumbs. ... Because undercooked muffins contain raw eggs, rebake them within 2 hours.

Why are my muffins so doughy?

Too much liquid – If there is too much liquid in the batter, the muffins will be very dense. ... Too much leavening – If there is too much baking soda or powder in the batter, muffins will rise temporarily, then collapse. This causes them to become dense.

Can you use normal sugar instead of caster sugar?

In most recipes you can substitute granulated sugar for caster sugar and vice versa. However, one cup of granulated sugar does not equal one cup of caster sugar. TIP: Caster sugar can be made at home by processing granulated sugar in a food processor for a few seconds.
