If you work flour, stir it, knead it, it activates the gluten and can make things tough. By just mixing it enough to moisten, a muffin will be tender like it is supposed to be.

It wasn't mixed enough when it was first made. If it is made with cubes they need to be thoroughly dissolved and this mixture well stirred before it is chilled. If it is made with powder make sure the powder is well dissolved and stirred before chilling. If the thicker mixture is allowed to settle it will be thicker at the bottom than it is in the rest.
