Comments on: McMake ’em yourself: breakfast sandwiches. http://blog.kingarthurflour.com/2008/05/22/mcmake-%e2%80%99em-yourself-breakfast-sandwiches/ Hot Stuff from King Arthur's Hearth Tue, 06 Jan 2009 08:55:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Yum http://blog.kingarthurflour.com/2008/05/22/mcmake-%e2%80%99em-yourself-breakfast-sandwiches/#comment-3678 Yum Sun, 21 Sep 2008 02:18:48 +0000 http://blog.kingarthurflour.com/2008/05/22/mcmake-%e2%80%99em-yourself-breakfast-sandwiches/#comment-3678 These took a loooooong time to be done on the griddle. I ended up baking it in the oven at 300F to finish. When the interior finally reached 200F, the inside was still a little bit gummy-ish, like what sticks to a cake tester when the cake's not done. Am I supposed to let it cool completely and then the inside will solidify more, before I eat it? Is the inside supposed to be dry like bread? <strong>The inside should be moist, but not gummy/sticky/wet. Sounds like your griddle wasn't quite hot enough, or the muffins were a bit too thick. They can be tricky - even though it seems like a pain, it's often a good idea to cook a single muffin first to get the temperature down pat. And, of course, it's fine to finish them in the oven if your griddle doesn't cooperate... - PJH </strong> These took a loooooong time to be done on the griddle.

I don't have that, so could I just use a pan or put them in the oven? <strong>Yeah, it's a griddle with an internal heat source. And yeah - you can definitely use a pan set over a burner. It'll just take awhile due to limited pan space, I'd guess. Do one first to fine-tune the level of heat - should be fine.
