Muffins...help!

What's the recipe you are using?
Is the oven hot enough?

Hi Frugal,

There's an older thread with lots of ideas that should help so I've merged your thread with it to keep all the suggestions together.

Thank you - I had forgotten that I had already posted about this before !!! It seems to be a recurring problem for me LOL

I think it must be to do with cooking too fast as mine were ready before the allotted time... Maybe ?

I have found most bought muffins in the UK are too heavy. I wouldn't call most of them muffins at all - a good muffin should be eaten within half an hour of coming out of the oven, and definitely wouldn't keep a whole day. Most good shops make them through the day in NZ, where muffins are the standard quick brekkie! (Ah, plum and chocolate, still melted)

I haven't made any here, so I'm not sure, but it is possible that recipes from Australia or New Zealand wouldn't work because of the flour. UK flour has a lot more gluten in it, which may cause problems with muffins (UK bread recipes have to be adapted in NZ).
