Preparation

Step 1

Don't over mix your batter. Use a spatula or spoon to stir all of the ingredients together, never a hand mixer or stand mixer. The batter should be slightly lumpy and even still have streaks of flour in it.
Refrigerate your batter for an hour or more before baking. You can even refrigerate it overnight to bake first thing the next morning.
When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Yes, I know most recipes call for 350 degrees, but trust me on this one.
While the oven is preheating, grease a muffin tin and fill each muffin cup right up to the top. Again, trust me... Sprinkle about half a teaspoon of sugar on top of each cup if you like crunchy muffin tops. Fill any empty cups with about 1/2" of water.
Bake at 450 degrees for about 6 minutes or until the muffins have risen about 1/2" above the rim of the muffin tin. Then turn the oven down to whatever temperature your recipe originally calls for, and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the muffins in the pan for about 4 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
