- Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups, filling to the top. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce to 350°F and bake another 12–15 minutes, until domed and slightly firm to the touch. Do not open the door when changing the temperature.
Notes
Tip: To long-ferment these muffins for extra sourdough flavor, add the baking powder and baking soda last (right before baking).
Tip: Take the muffins out when they look just done (no wet batter on top) — fully baked but not overbaked. Pulling them too early can cause the tops to sink while cooling.
Tip: For the best, most consistent results, use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients.
