🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
If you have, like me, been baking all muffins or cupcakes in silicone muffin tray I urge you to stop 😂 I could never understand why, even when I followed the instructions precisely, my muffins would still come out flat as a board. Turns out it wasn’t my batter that was the problem… 😳
Due to the material, silicone muffin trays essentially are steaming what is baking, preventing that initial “pop” of the batter. They DO have a time and a place though! Like when you are working with sticky batters, delicate items like egg cups, or when you want to avoid browning.
But for baking that does best with a crisp, golden exterior. - you’re gonna want to break out that metal muffin tray!
Happy holiday baking 🧑🍳 🎄
