To check your muffin pan's capacity, for a mini muffin pan pour 1 1/2 tablespoons (30ml) water into 1 hole in your pan. If the water comes right to the top (with none left over) it is 1 1/2 tablespoon capacity. Use the same method to measure regular or Texas muffin pans.

If using a fan-forced oven, your cooking time may be a little quicker, so start checking your food a little earlier
