Helpful Recipe Tips
- What are muffin tops? There is a special silicone pan I used to make these. You can use cupcake molds or you could drop the batter in the pan like biscuits. the muffin top pan is just super easy and creates a great presentation.
- Cooking strawberries? When you cook the strawberries you release a completely different flavor. It's much more of the strawberry flavor we are use to then just raw strawberries. The glaze is created by basically caramelizing the fruit. I recommend larger chunks over smaller ones. You can even cook half then toss in the raw half afterward for a more complex flavor.
