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.

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.
