Advice

Sift the flour before preparing the dough, as the dough made from such flour is lighter. You can add various ingredients to the muffins and change them this way: a few drops of chocolate liqueur, raisins, chocolate chunks, chopped dried fruit, nuts, almonds… The ingredients for the muffins should only be quickly mixed with the dry ones. Mixing for too long makes the dough tough, and the muffins wont rise enough during baking. The dough wont rise if you dont add baking powder or baking soda to the mixture. The latter makes the muffins especially airy. To easily remove the baked muffins from the molds, its best to sprinkle the molds with flour or grease them with butter. An even better option is to use paper liners, which you place in the cavities of the baking tray. Its best to use organic lemons, whose peel is not treated with pesticides. If organic lemons are not available, immerse the lemon in boiling water for a few minutes and wipe it well to remove the wax, which contains toxins.
