How to make tulip muffin liners for bakery-style muffins
Step-by-step directions:
Cut out twelve 6-inch square pieces of parchment paper
Using a glass that fits inside the cups of your muffin tin, wrap each square of parchment around the bottom of the glass and twist
Place each liner into the muffin tin and press down with the glass. Fill liners with batter using an ice cream scoop
Tear a 15-inch piece of parchment off the roll and fold in half, creasing in the center
Place food on half of the paper, near the crease
Fold the other half of the paper to enclose ingredients, and starting at the top, make small overlapping folds to make a crescent-shaped packet. Leave about 1 inch of room above ingredients
Bake and enjoy
