Joanne says everything she's made from it has been awesome though. It's a beautiful book and I really wish I could pop into Huckleberry... : )<br />I'm pretty sure my baking powder/soda are fresh and I'm inclined to think the industrial ovens are convection and hotter and maybe that just blasts it and gives the muffins that dome? That, or the recipes scale down differently..or it's not exactly the same recipe used in the shop? They are so moist though...hard to imagine we could get this interior moist texture with a big hearty dome anyway.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439320856223502707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-30180382677353191732015-05-29T08:47:58.932-04:002015-05-29T08:47:58.932-04:00Agree.

Both your versions looks awesome. I could eat a bunch with coffee, quite addictive. I don't have the book. Do you recommend it? <br />You know Monica, maybe it's the baking soda or the temperature of the oven. A little higher temp has helped me in the past, although, you have to be careful that the tops don't brown faster. Again, why fuss about the tops, Love it anyways. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370921949266605002noreply@blogger.com
