Just came across a very detailed explanation of the muffin method with tips on how to do it properly. Much better than the sketchy descriptions I’ve written :).
Please have a look here at the ‘Pastry Methods & Techniques‘ blog.

Wow, thanks for the link! I guess I’m really doing my job if you are referring to my post. I really appreciate it. Now that I’m here, I need to have a look around, too–looks like a wonderful Asian cooking resource. And that’s an area I could always use some more instruction in!
Thanks for linking to the Pastry blog – lots of good stuff there :)
Hi OnlinePastryChef,
Thank _you_ for sharing your knowledge. It’s so much more important to understand the techniques (‘first principles’ I call them on my ‘About’ page) than just follow recipes blindly, which I read on your blog is your philosophy of cooking too :D. I’m just fumbling my way through — need all the help I can get from experts like you. Thanks again for your blog.
Lisa, glad you find the OnlinePastryChef resource useful too!
