Mix dry ingredients and liquid ingredients in separate bowls before mixing together. Make a well in the dry ingredients and then pour the liquid into the well; this process preserves the tenderness of the product and requires less mixing when the two mixtures are blended.

Mix with a wooden spoon until ingredients are just mixed and batter is still a little lumpy.

Portion out muffins using 2 tablespoons or fill about 2/3 to ¾ of the muffin cup. If you don’t have enough batter to fill all 12 cups; fill the remaining with water

As soon as possible, tilt muffins on their side so they will be easy to remove from the pan.
