Bake, moving darker toasts to center and paler toasts to edges of sheet, until tops are pale golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Thomas, an English immigrant, developed the secret process that included griddle baking to create a muffin that was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
They have very little sugar compared to other yeast breads. After the dough rises, the muffin is placed on a hot griddle like a pancake. They are like really drab, dry pancakes, and maybe your brain associates them with pancakes, and judges that they are not sweet enough — hence, sour.
Skip to content May 27, Joe Ford. I will definitely be putting paper towels in my container next time I make muffins. I have a bad habit of cooking very late at night so I have the problem of not wanting to wait until my muffins are completely cool in order to store. Your solution of putting them on a wire rack with a dish towel over them until morning is genius. Thank you!! I just wanted to say thank you for the great tip on storing muffins, because I wanted to make some banana walnut muffins and was trying to figure out how to store them.
I also wanted to know how would I go about freezing them should I wrap them individually and store them in the freezer? Or some other way I would much appreciate it if I was told about this thank you. I heartily appreciate your experiment! I happened upon this today and noticed that your table with results is not displayed, at least in Firefox I just made some banana muffins with cinnamon crumb topping and am worried the cinnamon crumbs will lose their crumby texture once I cover and place in tupperware.
Do you think they will be ok? You mentioned that in a previous reply to someone. Storing them the way I describe in this post will probably actually help them keep their crumb texture. If you leave them out, uncovered, the muffins will likely get hard and stale. If you put them in an airtight container without any paper towels or a dish towel, the moisture within the muffins will travel to the surface, turning your crisp crumbs into a gooey, sticky mess!
In general, breads and muffins should not be stored at refrigeration temperatures. In refrigeration conditions, the ingredients in the bread primarily the starch seize up, and the bread loses its fluffy quality.
Storing the bread at room temperature or freezing the bread is better! So I made a batch of homemade muffins that were very moist and yummy, cooled completely but put them in a plastic bag.
I needed to see how they fared for the next day. I need these for a school meeting in the morning so should I bake tonight before I go to bed and store with the towel method or do you have a better suggestion. Thanks so much for any advice!! Bummer about the first batch! I would go with the towel method if they are only going to be sitting overnight. If you are worried about it though, let them cool completely alllllllll the way and do the towel-lined container way! I made some muffins using a pre-mixed pack.
My kids ate all but 1, which they left for me. When we returned, the muffin was still sitting there nicely, not moldy at all but a bit hardened. Should I be concerned about the ingredients used and what my kids ate? Or is this normal for muffins left in the open? It is possible that because it was left in the open air, the muffin dried out and hardened rather than forming mold, which generally requires the presence of some moisture.
Alternatively, there may have been some preservative in the mix that contributed to this. Thank u this sounds exactly what I need. Take me abt a week to eat a dozen freshly baked muffins. Now I got to go find a big enough storage container. We know some quick breads and muffins taste better the second day after baking.
What kind s of quick breads and muffins have you found to taste better on the second day? It seems like fruity breads like banana, pumpkin, anything with cinnamon, chunks of apples or pears, etc. The flavors seem to just blend better, somehow. I can experiment with this too, and let you know what I come up with… if anything. I love this scientific approach to baking! Wayyyy more useful information than the myriad of anecdotal evidence floating around the web!!! A very nice blog. Great content and amazing posts.
A very good job done on your blog.. Do these rules also apply to muffins made with a non-gluten flour? I use almond flour, and am wondering if the gluten and other sticky, starchy ingredients in grain-based flours make a difference in the process of retaining moisture vs. I would think they do. But I would suspect that the same storage techniques would be effective with GF muffins and quick breads.
I make muffins to sell, and have to display them all day, but if i have any left over I sadly, have to bin them. What can I do to keep them nice enough to give to charity? Additionally, she has a keen eye for detail and loves to create content related to food, nutrition, health, and wellness.
