When making biscuits and muffins, over-mixing causes:
|
|
bread to tough and/or have tunnels.
|
|
|
a nice fluffy top.
|
|
|
smooth flaky layers
|
|
|
none of these
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Too much flour or too little liquid can cause tunnels. But, even more important, be careful to not over-mix muffin batter. Stir the batter just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Tunnels may also occur if the oven temperature is set too high.
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: -Remember that proper mixing is very important in quick breads. If the batter is under mixed, the bread will rise insufficiently. If the batter is over mixed, too much air will be incorporated, and large holes or tunnels will form during baking.
