Does anyone have a fool proof recipe..

For muffins?

I have a few books (not by well known chefs) that have muffin recipes but they are always horrible. They don't turn out like the muffins you can buy in Starbucks or the supermarket

Thank you for your help!

I never find that homemade muffins are the same as shop bought, they seem to have a softer more spongecake like texture.

1tablespoon baking powder

Nigella! I have tried loads and hers are the best (How to be a domestic goddess book).

Top tip, if it says makes 12, only make 8 or 9, fill the cases up nearly to the top, then they come out all big and puffy like the ones you see in cafes.

The lemon and raspberry ones are GORGEOUS.

Oh and when I was having any muffin related disasters I froze them and use them in trifle later. Yum.
