Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If a recipe yields more mini cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan 10 to 15 minutes, and then bake the rest of the batter. Check for doneness as stated in recipe. You may need to add a few minutes to the bake time.
