What to do when your muffin dough is thick?
Here are a few tips for dealing with thick muffin dough:
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, making the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add a little bit of liquid. Start by adding a tablespoon or two of milk, water, or juice. Mix in the liquid until the batter is smooth.
- Let the batter rest. Allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes will allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the gluten to relax, which will make the batter easier to work with.
- Scoop the muffin batter into the muffin tin with a spoon rather than pouring it. Scooping the batter will help to prevent air pockets from forming in the muffins.
- Bake the muffins according to recipe instructions. Do not over bake them.
