Note

**Storing the Mix:** Store the remaining dry mix in an airtight container or zipper-topped storage bag at room temperature in a cool, dry place. It makes a wonderful homemade gift when packaged nicely with the baking instructions included.

**Mixing Method:** To ensure accurate measurements for the dry mix, lightly spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off. Avoid scooping directly from the bag, as this can pack the flour and lead to dense muffins.

**Baking Tip:** Do not overmix the wet and dry ingredients. Stirring just until moistened ensures the muffins remain tender and light. Overmixing can develop gluten, resulting in tough muffins.
