Cup Muffin
A Look at the Various Muffin Top Pan Models in the Market Today
Muffins are definitely popular sweets, but if you want to bake them at home you'll have to make use of a muffin top pan: the cookware item that gives these cake their nice shape. A standard muffin top pan includes around six cups on the average, each of them with a four-inch diameter, and the materials it is made of are usually non-stick stuff. Thus, the muffins will easily roll out of the cups when the baking is over without leaving any residues behind.
Regardless of the type of muffin top pan you may be using at home, it is a known fact that the muffin top is better and more appealing than the stump. Why? Could it be the muffin top pan to blame? Usually, this is not the case, the thing is that everybody likes that protruding part of the cake that gets out over the edges of the cup. Regardless of whether you have a muffin top pan for jumbo-sized cakes or you stick to the traditional size, you may be facing the same problem.
The top of the muffins gets directly exposed to the flow of hot air which makes it crispy and crusty. The part that remains in the cup and forms the stump cannot develop a crust since the edges of the muffin top pan keep it moist enough to prevent this crust formation. There is one trick you can try to apply in order to make the best use of your muffin top pan: fill the cups close to their brims, and the mega top will grow during the baking process when the batter rises.
It is true that most muffin top Pan Instructions and muffin recipes recommend that you fill only half the cups; yet, if you do so, your cakes will have a pretty modest top and the part you like so much will be definitely smaller. Hence, all you need to do is take the piece of advice we suggested above with the mention that you should also consider prolonging the baking time. Hence, you'll leave the muffin top pan in the oven for at least half an hour more.
In order to reduce the dimensions of muffin bottom and stump, you can choose a special type of muffin top pan that has extremely shallow cups. They are half an inch deep only, and when you pour the batter to their brink, they'll create a large enough base for some of the most exquisite cakes. Have a look over the online catalogs and check the sizes of the various muffin top pan models; then, you'll surely know what to purchase.
