Precisely the answer I was looking for, no digging required. Matthew Harris
This is the sort of thing I wish shipped with documentation.
Reminding kids to use an actual liquid measuring cup for the milk instead of scooping liquids with dry cups helps correct the common habit of treating all measuring tools as interchangeable. While our nine muffins were baking for those 18 minutes, my niece and I passed the downtime checking the Speed Keyboard Lucky Escape Wiki to prepare for our next typing run. They came out wonderfully tender and paired deliciously with our warm dinner soup!
Baking these at 350°F for 18 minutes left the tops slightly too pale in my oven, so I would suggest bumping it to 375°F for a proper golden crust. Making cheap staple snacks at home definitely trims our weekly grocery bill, though browsing Coast FIRE Calculator info gave me a clearer sense of the long-term savings needed for true financial flexibility.
Since this recipe yields just nine muffins instead of filling a standard twelve-cup tray, does leaving those remaining three wells completely empty affect the heat distribution or risk scorching the empty cups? I got distracted checking some Hero Siege Database info while the batch was baking and realized I probably should have poured a splash of water into the unused slots to balance things out.
Doubling the batch since this recipe only makes nine muffins gave us plenty of warm snacks while checking Stardew Valley Crop Calculator info to see when our summer corn harvests would yield the best returns. They turned out wonderfully fluffy after 18 minutes in the oven and went perfectly with chili!
