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.
