Too much flour makes dry muffins -never pack or press it into cup measures.
Always mix dry ingredients thoroughly before adding liquid mixture.
Mix all liquids together before adding them (all at once) to the dry mixture.
Don’t over mix muffins -fold wet and dry mixtures together until just combined – mixture should not be smooth.
Paper cases – If your cupcakes are in paper cases remove them from the pan as soon as possible when they come out of the oven to cool on a wire rack. This helps stop the cake sticking to the case when you peel it off.
