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.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemon zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor to the muffins. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can have a bitter taste.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender, moist muffin.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gradually: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: The muffins will rise as they bake, so don't overfill the cups.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.
