Tosi emphasized the science of baking, thoroughly explaining why the muffin recipe should use a light, neutral oil rather than butter (because of the milk fats + water in the butter wouldn’t provide the proper muffin texture) and how the addition of apple cider vinegar reacts with the baking soda and baking powder to provide height to the muffin when baking.
