EXPERTS:

What processes are involved in this recipe?

There is a magic number of folds for mixing the mixture. You must not fold more than 12 times otherwise the mixture has too much air in it and the muffins are not fluffy.

We can tell if it is cooked when you put a skewer into a muffin and it comes out with no mixture on it. This means the inside is cooked. You can also test it by pressing down on the top of the muffin. If it bounces back then it is cooked.
