[CnD] Filling Muffin Tins
Hi, Everyone, I love muffins, and I enjoy baking them. But I do not enjoy filling the muffin cups with batter, and no matter what technique I try, it is a messy job. I have used a small scoop, a collapsible measuring cup, and even just a table spoon, but still it's messy. Does anyone have a technique for filling muffin tins with little mess. Thanks.

Re: [CnD] Filling Muffin Tins
Depending on the thickness of the batter, try putting the batter in a ziplock bag, snipping off the corner and squeezing the batter into the cups.

I've heard turkey basters do a good job with this too, but I haven't tried it myself.

Re: [CnD] Filling Muffin Tins
I respect that what ever works is good. I myself wouldn't want to mess with batter and plastic bags. Since you have to check the batter level in the pan as well as what your inserting from,, you're not going to completely avoid a messy proposition. Since recipes generally recommend that you fill the muffin pan two thirds full, it works for me to use a scant quarter measuring cup. > On Apr 23, 2016, at 4:44 PM, Kimberly via Cookinginthedark > wrote: > > Depending on the thickness of the batter, try putting the batter in a ziplock > bag, snipping off the corner and squeezing the batter into the cups. > > > Sent from Kimber's iPhone > >> On Apr 23, 2016, at 1:27 PM, Lori Castner via Cookinginthedark >> wrote: >> >> Hi, Everyone, >> >> >> >> I love muffins, and I enjoy baking them.

Re: [CnD] Filling Muffin Tins
This is assuming you are right handed? Hold the muffin cup in the palm of your flat left hand, fingers open. Hold it slightly over the bowl. Use a small scoop, like one of those plastic coffee scoops that have one end like a square spout-like shape. If you don't have one, a deep measuring spoon should do. It's too hard to use it with a shallow anything. Dip this into the bowl, tap to drop excess, then upend it into the cup. Another idea could be that you could use a pastry bag. I've never used it for batter though, just icing for cookies and such. You could also just set the cups into the muffin tin and use a small cup. Something with a smaller mouth than a measuring cup. A coffee scoop could be used here too. Set down newspaper before you start. That'll help with the mess as well. Quite frankly, I really don't make messes when I bake so it's always interesting when other people do. Hope I was able to help. On 4/24/16, Sandy via Cookinginthedark wrote: > Now!

Re: [CnD] Filling Muffin Tins
If you get one of those ice cream scoops that have the push button scraper built in, These will make really nicely shaped muffins. Also, grease the top of your muffin tins between the cups. Then any dribbles are easily cleaned up when you have removed the muffins.

Re: [CnD] Filling Muffin Tins
The best way I've found is to use an ice cream scoop that has a feature on it that you can pour right into the cup. An ice cream scoop, or at least the one I have, is 1/4 cup, just enough to fill a large muffin tin. -Original Message- From: bettycemmons--- via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2016 11:29 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: bettycemm...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [CnD] Filling Muffin Tins mix batter in small pitcher then pour in cups Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 23, 2016, at 4:29 PM, Kathy Brandt via Cookinginthedark wrote: > > I respect that what ever works is good.

Re: [CnD] Filling Muffin Tins
This is how I fill muffin tins. What you need is a funnel. The funnel that works for filling muffin tins is called a canning funnel -- also sometimes a "jar filler." It has a wide top and a wide opening at the bottom, wide enough to fit inside a half-pint-size canning jar. Stick the funnel inside each greased muffin cup, scoop in a third-to-a-half cup of batter, then move on to the next muffin cup. It also helps to cover the top of the pan with a light film of oil or butter so it's easy to remove any cooked-on batter drips. The canning funnel -- make sure to buy one made of metal! -- is also a perfect biscuit and round cookie cutter, and an excellent guide for distributing pancake batter into a griddle.HTH, Penny Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 23, 2016, at 12:27 PM, Lori Castner via Cookinginthedark > wrote: > > Hi, Everyone, > > > > I love muffins, and I enjoy baking them.
