What is the best gas mark to do whilst baking muffins?
There isn't a single "best" gas mark for baking muffins, as it depends on several factors, including:
* Your recipe: The recipe will specify a baking temperature, which you can then convert to the appropriate gas mark.
* Your oven: Ovens can vary in temperature, even within the same brand and model.
* The size of your muffins: Smaller muffins will bake faster than larger ones.
* The type of muffin: Some muffin recipes require a higher temperature than others.
However, here are some general guidelines:
* Most muffin recipes bake between Gas Mark 4 and 6 (180°C - 200°C / 350°F - 400°F).
* Start at the lower end of the range (Gas Mark 4 or 5) and adjust as needed. You can always increase the temperature if the muffins are not browning enough.
* Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is at the correct temperature.
* Always check the muffins for doneness with a toothpick or cake tester. It should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
Remember: It's always best to follow the instructions in your chosen recipe. If you're unsure about the gas mark, check a conversion chart or online converter to find the equivalent temperature for your oven.
Happy baking! 😊
