i make up a 12oz cake mix and make a tray bake with that.

Stupid question coming up. Is that 12oz total weight of ingredients, or the weight of the flour (like in a pastry recipe where, say, 10oz pastry means 10oz flour iyswim!)

Just a quick one, I have a Prestige cake tin that is 32cm x 18cm x 3cm (12.5" x 7" x 1 1/4"). I want to make a few traybakes today but I am not sure if I use this tin, will the batter spill over when it rises? Should I leave a spoon or two out when I fill it (I hate wasting it!)

You can make a batch of 12 muffins in a traybake tin.

I make muffins for my school's healthy tuckshop. I've been asked to make them smaller as the reception children weren't managing to finish a whole muffin (what a waste!).

My first thought was to make mini muffins, but that either means hunting down the mini muffin paper cases, or greasing each cup and then having to wash the tin afterwards :rolleyes: Also they're quite fiddly to fill. So I hit on the traybake method. I can get 24 smallish squares out of 12 muffin mix. I think I'll try for 30 though and make them slightly smaller.

I call them muffin squares.

Hi thrifty, can I ask what muffin recipe you use for this? Would they need to be cook for longer than in individual cases? Thanks.

This one is always a winner in our house and last time I made it we had requests from oh's work mates for me to make more!!

Hi Blitz -sorry for the long wait, I've only just noticed your question.

My basic muffin recipe is this;

Mix together
2 cups (9oz) of plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup (3-4oz) sugar

In another bowl mix
½ pint of milk
⅓ cup(3 fl oz) of melted butter or sunflower oil

Combine the two mixtures, add whatever flavourings/additions you want. Pour into tin and bake for 25 mins at 200c.

I don't use egg in my muffins, but if you want to decrease the milk to 8 fl oz and add a beaten egg to the liquid mixture.

sorry about the big writing -it will not shrink to the correct size

That sounds lovely Thriftlady, do you think it would work with soya milk instead of normal milk? I could make it dairy free then which would be great for us.

I'm sure it would. I've made a dairy-free version using a mixture of fruit juice and water in place of milk;)

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I haven't gone through all of the posts but they have non stick baking trays in Poundland.



Saw them when I got my bread tin the other week.

Does anyone know if traybake recipes would work OK in a 9 inch springform tin? I bought one and don't know what to make in it other than cheesecake/torte type things so any help is definately welcome
