How Full?

How Full?

18 Oct 2017 - Anneka Manning

I often get asked ‘how full do I need to fill my tin’ when making muffins or cupcakes? It really does depend on the recipe and the type of mixture (how much it will rise etc) and I usually recommend that you just divide the mixture evenly among the holes and (if it is a good recipe) that will give you perfectly sized muffins or cupcakes without the mixture overflowing. But, for those still wanting a ‘quantity’, as a loose guide, you will usually find that filling the holes of the pan about 2/3-3/4 full is usually a good amount.
