Prepare the ingredients Dry Ingredients "Always start by mixing the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter." In a bowl, combine the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute. 2. Add the Liquid Ingredients "A smooth batter, without overmixing, is the secret to a light muffin." In a second bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and melted butter. Pour everything over the dry ingredients and mix gently. 3. Add the Chocolate Chips "Add the chips at the end to prevent them from melting into the batter." Gently fold in the chips, reserving a few for the top. 4. Divide the batter among the molds "Fill the molds three-quarters full to create a nice rounded shape." Place paper baking cups in your molds, fill them, then add a few sprinkles on top. 5. Bake and monitor the baking. "A brisk, short bake results in a perfect dome and an airy crumb." Bake at 200°C for 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool before removing from the pan or serving. 💬 Did you like this recipe?
