Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma knew that muffins are tastiest when eaten warm, so she timed them to come out of the oven right before they were to be served, cooling them just a bit on a wire rack beforehand. Grandma stored extra muffins in an airtight plastic bag for up to several days. For longer storage, she would wrap the muffins and freeze them. To reheat, Grandma would wrap frozen muffins in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes. For the best flavor, she would use frozen muffins within one month.
