Muffin Tips
Muffins will brown best if shiny metal muffin pans are used for baking them. Fill the muffin-pan cups 2/3 full with batter. They will rise above the pan surface.
Tins should be greased rather heavily on the bottom for easy removal of muffins. Greasing the sides very lightly, or not at all, allows the batter to cling to the tins in rising, thus increasing volume.
To keep muffins from burning around the edges, leave one muffin cup empty; fill 2/3 with cold water before baking.
