Thanks for all the help, everyone. I'll have to get busy andsee what happens. It's been years since I've had the time to do much baking, and there's a lot I've forgotten. I suspect I'll be fine once I get started again, and I appreciate the refresher.

As long as you don't fill the cups too full, I expect things will work out fine. Also, if you have an ice cream scoop, that should work just as well as a cookie scoop, at least for the standard cups.

Depending on the mix, however, some of them do rise above the top of the cup. If you want really tall muffins and the little rim around them like from some bakeries, you might try a 1/3 cup measure. I prefer the 1/4 because it is less messy. > > Carol > > > > On 9/13/2012 8:35 PM, Debbra Piening wrote: >> I don't think I phrased this quite correctly.
