I am sure you need not be told a lot about muffins.
Their sweet taste, especially when eaten with hot butter speaks for its self.
The good thing is that with the help of muffin top pan, you can bake some at home and put a smile in your family's faces.
A standard pan has around six cups with each having four-inch diameter and they really give the cakes a nice shape.
They're made of a non-stick material thus the cake easily rolls out of the cup when baked.
Indeed muffin tops are far better than the stump, reason being almost every body likes the protruding part of the cake that's normally over the edges of the cup.
This top part is normally crispy due to direct exposure of the hot air flow.
Filling the cups to their brims and leaving the mega top to grow during baking process when the batter rises, is one of the tricks you need so as to make good use of your pan.
Manufacturers instructions are always that we should fill the cups half way, but on the other hand this makes your cake have a smaller top and that's definitely the part you like.
The better option is to stick to our advice above and then prolong baking time.
It's good you take a look at the Internet for online catalogs that have various muffin top pan models before you purchase one.
However, when you want to make a muffin with a reduced dimension of the bottom and the stump, There are special pans that have quite shallow cups of about half an inch.
When batter is poured into them they create an amazing cake with a large base.
