Muffins really aren't going to rise like that; the worst you should get is a really big muffin. As long as you don't fill the cups too full, I expect things will work out fine. Also, if you have an ice cream scoop, that should work just as well as a cookie scoop, at least for the standard cups. On Sep 13, 2012, at 8:50 PM, carollablady <[email protected]> wrote:
