This is an easy way to make your own muffin cases out of parchment paper or baking paper if you don’t have some already on hand.
What you will need:
Here are the list of tools you will need to make the muffin cases:
- Muffin tin- this is the regular muffin tins that you normally use while baking.
- A cup/glass with a flat bottom*- Make sure it fits snugly into your muffin tin. They should be similar in shape and size.
- Parchment paper or baking paper- it really doesn’t matter the brand. Make use of what you have.
- Any measuring tool like Ruler or tape measure- As long as it has centimeters or inches or if you are good at estimation, anything straight would do.
- A cutting tool like Scissors or knife- this helps make the edges look smooth.
How to make Muffin Cases
Take your parchment paper and using your measuring tool, measure out 15 cm length and 15 cm width. Using your scissors or knife, cut the squares and repeat till you have enough pieces to use.
Place the parchment paper over the base of your cup or glass. The cut out parchment paper may tend to curl one way from being rolled up, if this happens turn that curl away from the cup/glass. This will help encourage the muffin cases spread open easily (rather than fold in toward themselves) when you put them in your muffin tin.
Flatten the base of the can using your palm then firmly press your hand along the parchment against the cup/glass to set the creases of the parchment paper.
Transfer the muffin cases to your muffin tin and they are ready to use!
