Which muffin pan have you used?
I have used a standard US sized muffin pan. All products will be mentioned below.
I have a normal locally (India based) available muffin pan. How many muffins will this recipe make then?
In a regular muffin pan you can get up to 12 muffins. Please check the baking time if you bake in a regular pan, the muffins might require few minutes less.
Why different temperatures to make these muffins?
The initial heat at 200°C makes the muffins rise up and gives them the domed top. After the first five minutes you reduce the temperature to 175°C to finish baking.
Also, please make sure you use an oven thermometer to ensure perfect bakes every time.
What is streusel topping?
Streusel topping is very common in muffins and coffee cakes. It is sweet, slightly crunchy and has a hint of cinnamon and pairs really well with muffins.
Here is the recipe:
Streusel topping: (optional but highly recommended)
2 1/2 tablespoon melted butter
25 gram (1/8 cup) brown sugar
1 tablespoon caster sugar or superfine sugar
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl till it resembles wet coarse sand. Set aside till needed..
Can I not use the streusel topping?
You can leave it out if you don’t want it. But I highly recommend trying it out if you can. It is amazing.
