Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Flour
Provides the main structure that holds the muffin crumb together as it bakes.
Eggs
Bind the batter and help set the crumb structure during baking.
Baking powder
Releases gas during baking so the muffins rise and stay light.
Baking soda
Reacts with acidic ingredients to produce gas, aiding rise and browning.
Brown sugar
Adds sweetness, moisture and some browning to the muffin crust.
Soymilk
Adds liquid that hydrates the flour and dissolves the sugar for a moist batter.

The step that matters

Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture only until moistened. Stirring too much develops gluten in the flour, which makes muffins tough and tunnelled. Lumps left in the batter are fine and keep the texture tender.

Swap the clove

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (flour, sugar, cinnamon, egg, raisin):

  1. Nutmegfits better
  2. Cardamomfits better
  3. Allspicefits about as well
  4. Clovethe original

Fit is the average pairing score against flour, sugar, cinnamon, egg, raisin. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
