Ina Garten’s 5 Tips for Roasting Chicken Are Life-Changing
Tip 1: Grease the whole muffin tin.
You might already know to butter or grease each cup before placing your batter, but have you considered coating the top of the pan? Garten suggests greasing the pan outside of the cups too, so that the muffin tops won’t stick to the surface when they’re baking. It’s not only genius, but it will make the prep work so much easier to coat the entire muffin tin.
Tip 2: The ice cream scoop is your friend.
If you’re struggling with your usual spoon to make cohesive servings, an ice cream scoop is a game changer. Simply scoop the perfect serving of batter and release it into each divot in the pan. Now you have uniform, smooth muffins that are guaranteed to be beautiful.
Tip 3: Add sugar on top for some crunch.
There’s something about a fruity muffin with a bit of crunchy sugar on top that’s especially delicious, and Garten agrees. It’s an easy garnish that will elevate the appearance of your muffins. Plus, that extra crunch will nicely contrast with the soft muffin. Just a little bit of sugar on top of theseBlueberry-Oat Muffinscan go a long way.
Tip 4: Scared of burning? Keep your thermometer in the oven.
Bake goods are easy to burn, we all know this. To guarantee the oven temperature is where you want it to be, try this: “Keep a thermometer in the oven to ensure a perfect temperature,” wrote Garten.
