For standard muffin cups, I use a level 1/4 cup. The muffins do not cook over. 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.

much how far to fill the muffin cups as how to measure when filling  them.
What measure constitutes half-full as opposed to two-thirds full?  Is it a
matter of using say, ¼ cup for filling halfway  and 1/3 cup for filling two
thirds?  That might make sense for standard muffin cups, but what about the
jumbo ones or the minis?  Is this just a matter of trial and error?  Should
I just jump in and see what happens?  I'd really like to avoid a major oven
cleaning, if possible!

I always fill my muffin cups 2/3 full.  I don't like thin muffins.

Hi, everyone,



Marilyn's muffin recipe just jogged my memory about a question I've been
meaning to ask:  how to get an appropriate measure for filling muffin cups.
Some recipes say to fill ½ full and others 2/3 full, and I know so much
depends on the size of the muffin cups.  I've been shying away from making
muffins because I haven't been clear on how to figure this.  Can someone
help?  Thanks.





Deb
