How do you keep muffins from sticking to the paper?
There are a couple of ways to prevent sticking:
- Grease your wrappers. Giving the wrappers a quick spritz of nonstick cooking spray before filling them works very well to prevent cakes from sticking — even if you’re making a delicate recipe or trying to unwrap the cupcakes when they’re still warm.
- Buy non-stick liners.
How do you make big muffin liners?
All you need is regular parchment paper. Cut the parchment into squares and then press them around a mold that’s roughly the same size as your muffin cup — in my case, a small can of V8 juice did the job quite nicely. I like five-inch squares of parchment for regular-sized muffin cups.
Can you use aluminum foil instead of muffin liners?
While cupcake wrappers are widely available from supermarkets and specialty baking stores, they are also simple and quick to make at home using aluminum foil if you’re ever in a pinch. … The foil should be cut approximately 1 inch larger than the outside edge of the cupcake molds.
Why are my muffins stuck to the cases?
If there is too much batter in the case then it will rise up and over the edges of the case as the cupcake bakes and the edge of the case can become trapped in the edge of the cupcake, making it more difficult to remove the paper. Cupcake cases should be filled between half and two-thirds full of batter.
Can I use wax paper instead of cupcake liners?
Wax paper has a thin coating of wax on each side, which prevents food from sticking to it and makes it moisture-resistant. But wax paper is not heat-resistant; the wax will melt at high temperatures and the paper itself can catch on fire. Don’t use wax paper to line baking sheets or cake pans or put it in a hot oven.
