Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A peaked or pointed muffin has been:
A
over-mixed
B
had solid fat folded in
C
mixed perfectly
D
under-mixed
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Realize that overmixing can cause muffins to be tough, bake unevenly, create elongated holes (or tunnels) and/or form peaked tops.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overmixed muffins will have peaked, smooth-textured tops and long, tunnel-shaped air pockets in the interior, and will be tough in texture. It is also essential to spoon the batter gently into the muffin cups without stirring, in order not to reduce the leavening action of the baking powder.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overmixing decreases tenderness and produces a muffin with a crust that is light in color, smooth, and peaked, with tunnels that go toward the peak, and with a fine grain between the tunnels. Properly mixed and overmixed muffins are shown in Fig. 20.1.
