Notes

  • Do not over mix the batter.
  • Fill the batter up to the rim of pudding cup liners to allow the muffins to "smile" when steamed.
  • Steam the muffins on HIGH heat. Otherwise the muffins will not rise enough for it to "smile/laugh".
  • Freeze extra muffins in the refrigerator. When needed, remove from the freezer, thaw slightly and steam for 5-10 minutes until muffins before serving.
