ita,
I don't know if your recipe calls for eggs, but if so, you should beat your eggs with the milk/yogurt separately. mix the dry stuff separately, then put them together and fold in. This has made a diff for me.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

you can now buy the video of "This American Life" show from last May.
It was really incredible. Rakoff's piece (from memory) is so much more affecting now.

I use a combined CI/Alton Brown method. I don't normally like baked goods that use oil, because they often end up having an oily feel. However, I learned from CI that if you start by beating your eggs and then slowly adding the oil like you were making mayonnaise, you get an emulsion that removes the oily feel. Then I add the rest of the wet ingredients and beat the hell out of them. I mix the dry ingredients, and by mix, I mean dump the baking soda, etc., on top of the flour in the cup measure, and then adhere to Alton Brown's advice to add the dry ingredients and mix no longer than 30 seconds.
