Sour Cream Lemon Muffins image

This comes from the Not So Humble Pie blog (http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/2010/05/sour-cream-lemon-muffins.html). It makes a moist muffin with a gentle lemon flavor. The family enjoyed it very much. I am capturing it here so that I can find it again.

Time 36m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large lemon, zest of, finely grated
1 1/4 cups sour cream (250g)
2 large eggs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon extract (or 1/4 teaspoon lemon oil)
coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Prep your muffin pan with a little non-stick spray and preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest. Use a whisk to break up any lumps and thoroughly combine.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the sour cream, eggs, butter, lemon juice, and lemon extract.
  • Mix together with the whisk quickly until the batter is moist but combined. It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds or 20 strokes. Expect the batter to be thick and a little lumpy. If it seems overly thick (there will be some variation in moisture content between sour creams) feel free to add a splash more lemon juice.
  • Divide the batter between the wells in your muffin pan (roughly 3/4 full) and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  • Bake for 16-24 minutes (depending on the size of your muffin) until the muffins are light golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over bake.
  • Allow the muffins to sit in their tins on a wire rack for 5 minutes to cool. Then tap them out of the pan.
  • Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the lemon flavor was barely noticeable.

I'm not a big fan of sour cream, but I really enjoyed these muffins. The lemon flavor is very prominent and the sour cream makes them moist and tender.
