adding sugar to muffin recipe

Apr 10, 2007 2 Replies

my bf made a batch of corn muffins that oozed over the sides, made one huge muffin essentially, and took a good extra seven minutes to bake. I think he added extra sugar, would that have caused that? It's a cooks illustrated recipe that I've made before and never had a problem with.



Maybe some of the ingredients were stale or expired.

excess sugar will lower the muffin batter viscosity making it prone to such fault you mentioned
