How to Make Bakery Style Muffins: Learn the secrets to baking muffins with crisp sugary tops and light fluffy middles.

Tip 1: Coat fillings like fruits, nuts, and chocolate chips with flower to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of your muffins. 

Tip 2: Add enough baking powder and soda to the muffin batter. These ingredients allow the batter to rise as the muffins bake. 

Tip 3: Fill the muffin tins all the way up to the top. This will give them bigger and taller muffin tops. 

Tip 4: Before baking, top each muffin with a touch of melted butter and a sprinkle of raw sugar. This makes the tops crisp. 

Tip 5: Don't be afraid to turn up the heat. Place muffins in an oven heated to 425 degrees to start baking. Heat helps them rise. 

Tip 6: Pay attention. Keep an eye on the muffins once they go into the oven. Reduce the oven temperature once the muffin tops have risen. 

Tip 7: Place the baked muffins on their side to cool, this way the domed tops won't flatten as they cool off. 

Tip 8: Remember that baking is a science. Don't substitute ingredients and expect the recipe to turn out the same. Be cautious.
