Making into Mini Muffins
As I mentioned above, I love making these as mini muffins for eating during gift opening Christmas morning. To do that, you will want to use a mini muffin tin that has been greased. Make the batter just as written, but bake for only 8 to 10 minutes. We love to make them as mini muffins, but they are perfect as regular sized muffins too. This is a great recipe to make for a Christmas morning brunch. Your family is sure to love these. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, follow these simple steps:
Ensure that you are using the correct amount of flour. Read all my tips and tricks for that above.Check that your baking soda and baking powder are still fresh. These typically need to be replaced every six months. You can easily test them by adding baking powder to water or baking soda to vinegar. They should bubble immediately.Note that baking soda and baking powder are not interchangeable. You will need 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder for this recipe and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.Let the butter cool. If the butter is steaming hot when it is mixed into the batter, it might start cooking the eggs before the recipe gets into the oven which would leave egg pieces in your muffins.
These muffins also freeze great! Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Allow them to freeze for a few hours. Then transfer them to an airtight container and place them back in the freezer for about three hours.
