So what am I doing wrong, ladies, or is it my oven. Every time I try to make muffins they come out cake-y and don't rise. I use baking powder and the right kind of flour, I don't stir too much, but they never look like muffins, more like little cakes. Am I being over-ambitious to think they ought to rise up over the cases and have muffin tops?
And crumble FFS. It always looks like buttery flour. I use plain not SR flour, but it never seems to have that crumbley texture.
Maybe it is the oven, it is an electric fan oven, but I have my suspicions about the door seal being knackered (adds to long list of crapness left by tenants)
I have given up on being able to make "proper" tall cake that rises, in any oven, but I was hoping for a bit of crumble action with all these lovely blackberries about. Anyone got any ideas?
