Muffin Method of MixingQuick Bread
Prepare quick breads using the muffin method
• The muffin method of lightly mixing liquid ingredients into dry ingredients will produce a muffin with a slightly course but tender texture.
• The muffin method makes a pour or drop batter for baked goods such as: Pancakes, muffins, spoon bread,
coffeecakes and
fruit and nut loaves
Before you start: Read the
entire recipe
Use the right tools.Pour liquids (water, oil, milk, honey, corn syrup) in a clear liquid measuring cupplaced on the countertop. Read amount at eye level.Use standard dry measures for dry ingredients (flours, sugar, cocoa, brown sugar, cornmeal)Use measuring spoons for small amounts less than ¼ cup (4 tablespoons).
Finish each step and double check to be sure nothing was
omitted.
• Be sure to use butter or hard stick margarine not a spread or reduced fat product.
• Vegetable oils (sunflower, soybean, corn, olive, safflower) are usually specified in a recipe. Your product may not be successful substituting oil for butter or margarine.
• Stir dry ingredients (flours, powdered or granulated sugars, cornmeal, cocoa), and spoon into dry measuring cups and level off with a flat-edged utensil.
• Sifting is needed only if the recipe specifies to pre-sift a dry ingredient before measuring.
• Combine dry leavening ingredients (baking powder, baking soda,
cream of tartar) and other dry ingredients with a wire whisk or sifter.
• Avoid measure ingredients over the mixing bowl
Keep some salt in a small sealed container to measure from when baking so you can easily measure.

7. Bake muffins for 20 to 25 minutes.
The trick to making muffins and quickbreads is all in the measuring and mixing.
Measure ingredients accurately. If the ingredient proportions aren't correct, the breads will fail. If
there's too much liquid, quick breads may sink in the middle. Or, too much fat can make them coarsely textured.
Proper mixing is important. • If the batter is overmixed, quickbreads and muffins will have
peaked tops and tunnels inside. • To get the right consistency in your batter, start by combining
the dry ingredients in a bowl and making a well in the center. Combine the liquid ingredients and pour them into the well in the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently combine the wet and dry ingredients.
• Stop mixing while the batter is still a bit Stop mixing while the batter is still a bit lumpy.lumpy.
