Muffins

[Jailer]

I have just made some blueberry and White chocolate chip muffins.
When I took them out of the oven, the blueberries and chocolate had sunk to the bottom. Why?
ps. they still tasted good.

Jailer - next time, put the blueberries and chocolate in a plastic bag with some flour and shake them up - sift them out - and then add them to the mix. That is supposed to work - I have had it work sometimes and not work at others - but that is all I can offer:)

Cake mixture too soft , use less liquid to make a stiffer mix that will hold the weight of the fruit .

Were they American Muffins? If so, they are usually made by mixing dry ingredients in one bowl, and liquid ingredients in another bowl and then combining the two together. If this is the case, you have to do the combiining very quickly, the mixture should look lumpy, and you have to get them into the paper cases and into the oven straight away. It is something to do with the chemical reaction of the liquid and the baking powder, which makes them rise and in turn holds up the fruit/chocolate chips.
