EASY LEMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Line a muffin tin with large muffin cases. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until smooth using a wooden spoon or an electric whisk. Spoon tablespoons of the batter into the muffin cases until they're three-quarters full (you can make up to 8, depending on the case size). Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave on a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the icing. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and gradually add lemon juice until you have a thick but pourable icing - you may not need all of the juice. Drizzle over the cooled muffins and serve.

LEMON DRIZZLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180c/350f
• Add the sugar and egg to a large bowl and mix using a fork or balloon whisk. Add in the butter and vanilla extract, stir, and then add in the yogurt and stir to combine. Next combine the flour and baking soda and add into the mixture along with the lemon zest. Stir everything together using a wooden spoon.
• Grease a 12 hole muffin tin and fill the holes almost to the top with the cake mixture (cake cases are optional, but you'll find that the muffins will be lighter in appearance if you use muffin cases). You should get 10-11 muffins from this recipe. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 13-15 minutes until risen and browned. Once cooked, take out of the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing and cooling further on a cooling rack.
• Whilst the cupcakes are in the oven, make the sugared lemons. Place the water and sugar into a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes - until the sugar dissolves. Add the lemon slices and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes. Place the 2 tbsp sugar in a small bowl, then drain the lemon slices and dredge in the sugar. Place them in a single layer on plate to dry.
• When the muffins are cool, make the lemon drizzle by using a balloon whisk or fork to mix the confectioner's sugar with 1 tbsp of lemon juice. You're looking for a drizzle that holds it's shape for a 4-5 seconds after you lift the whisk. Add more of the lemon juice if required until you reach the correct consistency.
• Drizzle the icing over the muffins, then top each muffin with a wedge of lemon and serve.
