1 ea Muffie tip and hints

Who eats muffin bottoms? Just about everyone prefers
the tops. Which is why I invented "muffies". They're
baked on a baking sheet instead of a muffin tin and
have no bottom. The muffie has a lot going for it: Two
cups of muffin batter, which customarily makes 4-6
muffins, is enough for 16 muffins. And they take much
less time to bake, usually less than 10 minutes. I
prefer them just lightly browned so they stay a little
moist and soft inside. Almost any thick muffin batter
will work, but space the muffies at least two inches
part because they spread a good deal, especially if
the batter is not chilled. They way to get a puffier
muffie is to refrigerate the batt until it is very
chilled. Bake the batter right after it is mixed and
all you'll get is a flat, soft cookie. Muffies should
be enjoyed warm, right from the oven. To reheat, wrap
them in foil and warm gently in a conventional oven.
To store, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet
and freeze them. Once frozen, place them in an
airtight plastic bag, then in another airtight plastic
bag to stave off freezer odor. Defrost as needed. The
following muffies will get you started. The first two
are deliberately low in cholesterol. The
Blueberry-Apple Muffie is not low, but not excessive,
either.
