I have four muffin tips for making bakery style muffins at home.

Tip number one:

Rest your batter for 15 minutes in your mixing bowl after you make it. This is gonna allow the starch molecules to swell and absorb, creating the thicker batter and the thicker batter is known for doming!

Tip number two:

Fill your muffin holes with at least six to eight tablespoons of batter. That’s like a heaping half cup okay. You want them super full so they’re gonna create that dome.

Tip number three:

Kinda goes along with tip number two. You’re only gonna fill every other hole in your muffin pan. And why we do that - that’s so the muffins that are baking can spread and dome without running into their neighbors. Because when they run into their neighbors they get like square edges but we want perfect dome circles.

Tip number four:

You’re to bake your muffins at a high temperature initially. That’s gonna be 425*F for the first seven minutes. And then keep them in the oven and lower the temperature to 350*F for the remaining bake time. Starting the muffins off at a high temperature initially allows the muffins to rise rapidly and it sets the outer surface of the muffin, producing a dome shape.

Lots of my favorite vines are old ones, so here are some that I didn’t want lost to the wind

The Caravan has reached its destination ! It's coming to you in the form of a large set of art prints with chrome gold finish, 70x25cm each.

Preorders are now open for the print set and will run for a month ! International shipping is available, and visitors of the Paris City Pop festival will be able to pick up their order at my table for early access and no shipping fees.

In french, to have "golden hands" is to showcase exceptional skill in craftmanship - many similar idioms exist across the world. The Golden Caravan is a tribute to the enduring mastery and collaborative knowledge of artisans, and to the long travels of merchants who carried it over land and sea.
