Notes
Muffin liners
If you can, try and use muffin liners that are non-stick because the muffins tend to stick to the regular ones making it difficult to remove.
If you can not buy them, make parchment liners with baking paper as we do, they are quick to make. These liners also have high sides so you can fill the holes to the top with batter.
The tall sides also guide the batter up during baking giving you nice tall muffins.
