  1. The muffin method

  2. The pan should be placed on the rack in the middle of the oven • A preheated oven is important so the product can be baked at an optimal temperature • The appearance of the muffin batter should be lumpy when finished mixing.

  3. What causes tunnels in muffins? Over mixing, gluten over develops • Name two other baked products that can be made using the muffin method? • 1. cakes • 2. pancakes

  4. The two main methods of testing for “doneness” are: • 1. insert a toothpick into the center of the product and it comes out clean. • 2. when the product is touched with the forefinger it should: feel firm and spring back

  5. When Susie’s muffins came out of the oven, they had a very smooth top appearance and there were large tunnels inside the muffins. Explain why. • A: Susie over mixed her muffins causing the gluten to develop and creating large air pockets in the muffin.

  6. Can you help Jennifer? Explain how you could combine the ingredients to make the pancake batter. • A: when mixing muffins together keep the dry ingredients together and the wet ingredients together. With the exception of sugar. Mix the sugar with the wet ingredients to allow absorption. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in wet ingredients. Mix only until there is no visible powder and batter is still lumpy
