LEMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220C/425F degrees. Butter 12 muffin cups or line them with liner papers.
• In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix in the sugar and lemon zest.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the yogurt, melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla extract just until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula just until combined. Do not over mix. The batter should be thick and lumpy. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups (almost all the way to the top). Bake for 3 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 180C/350F and continue to bake for an additional 12-17 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a small bowl sift the powdered sugar. Add lemon juice until you achieve desired consistency (pourable consistency).
• When the muffins are cooled, pour the drizzle over the muffins.
• Muffins are best the same day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or they can be frozen for up to 2 months.

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.

Steps:

• Muffins.

• NOTES:.
• The dough is much stiffer than most muffins, don't worry they still come out nice and moist.
• I don't use muffin papers with this recipe or you lose a lot of the glaze that is normally absorbed around the sides, which adds to the moistness of the muffin.
