As long as a cake pours at the right consistency and biscuit batter doesn't glue my fingers together, that's how they turn out!. Muffins are a little less runny than cakes!. Bread is completely different!. Follow the recipe because if you don't, it will become like a doorstop or so holey the butter falls through!. Knead lots and well the first time!. Second knead only do as much as it needs to get into a pan!. Temp is important too!.
