Pear Muffin

If your oven browns strongly, keep an eye on the muffins from minute 15.

Paper liners make it especially easy to lift the muffins out cleanly.

Press very juicy pears briefly by hand to prevent the batter becoming too wet.

Sifting makes the batter lighter and reduces lumps.

Take the yogurt out of the fridge shortly beforehand so everything combines more easily.

Do not overmix, otherwise the muffins will become dense.

Fill the cavities only about two-thirds full so the muffins can rise nicely.

On the rack the muffins won’t become damp on the bottom and stay light all around.

Only sprinkle powdered sugar shortly before serving so it doesn’t melt away.
