Teacher Tips
· Be sure to use the waxed cups with a small ridge on the bottom. They can be purchased at most grocery stores as kitchen cups.
· You do not need to add water in the electric skillet! Really…it works and the cups do not burn because of the wax! Place all the cups into the skillet at the same time – one skillet usually holds at least 20 cups. Place the lid on the skillet and bake for 15 minutes.
· To eat, have the children tear the cup and remove the muffin.
