Provided by Shiran

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups (250 grams or 8.8 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup (135 grams or 4.7 ounces) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup yogurt
6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter, melted
zest and juice of one lemon ((mine yielded about 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice))
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract ((optional))
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice

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.

LEMON MUFFINS



Lemon Muffins image

A nice light lemon flavoured muffin that is good to have for morning or afternoon tea, or, as a dessert served with some whipped cream and maybe some fresh berries.

Provided by Jen T

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 15m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups self-raising flour
3/4 cup sugar
75 g butter, melted
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 large lemon, zest of
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Toss the 1st measure of sugar & flour together in a bowl.
  • Beat with a fork the melted butter, milk and egg until well combined.
  • Add the lemon zest & stir to mix .
  • Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix carefully until just combined.
  • Spray 12 medium size muffin tins with non-stick spray and then divide mixture evenly between them.
  • Bake for 10 - 15 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (depends on your oven).
  • Meanwhile stir together the 2nd measure of sugar and lemon juice without dissolving the sugar.
  • Pour over hot muffins as soon as they come out of the oven.
  • Leave for a couple of minutes but do not leave too long in tins as they may stick.
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemons: Use fresh, ripe lemons with a bright yellow color and smooth skin. Avoid lemons that are dull or have blemishes.
  • Zest the lemons finely: Grating the lemon zest finely will release more flavor and distribute it evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Juice the lemons carefully: To avoid getting any seeds in the muffin batter, strain the lemon juice through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no dry streaks remain.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The muffins should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
