Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When using the muffin method, a muffin will have what kind of shaped top if it’s perfectly mixed?
A
peaked
B
squared off
C
pointed
D
rounded
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If the batter has not been overmixed, the finished muffins will have rounded tops with cauliflowerlike surfaces, interiors free of tunnels and a light, moist, even grained texture. Begin muffin preparation by thoroughly blending the dry ingredients–flour, sugar, baking powder and salt–in a medium bowl.

Detailed explanation-2: -Realize that overmixing can cause muffins to be tough, bake unevenly, create elongated holes (or tunnels) and/or form peaked tops.

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.
