Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For best results, cut loaf with a serrated knife, using a light sawing motion.
  • tip 2
    Mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Overmixing causes tunnels and gives the loaf a tougher texture.
  • tip 3
    Chai is the Hindi word for tea, which is often made with milk and spices, such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and pepper.
  • tip 4
    Make and bake this blueberry muffin bread the night before to serve for breakfast or brunch the next day.
