When I first learned to bake muffins I was told to let the batter sit in the pans for 10 or 15 minutes before baking to let them crown.. I think it depends on how heavy the batter is too
Yes. The batter needs to be thick. The problem with people saying to fill above the halfway mark or 3/4 mark is that muffins can then end up a real mess. Undercooked or muffin batter that touches and so the muffins bake connected.I think it depends on how heavy the batter is too
Maybe this isn't what you were looking for, but I find that sprinkling some plain white sugar on the top of each muffin gives it a nice "crust" on the top. 
My favorite part of a muffin is when streusel is on top ... Here's instructions I found on Allrecipes.com:
Combine 2 tablespoons flour, 5 tablespoons sugar ,and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles course crumbs. Sprinkle over batter in muffin cups.
