Katie's Lemon Muffin Recipe

One of my favourite times in the world is when I'm baking in the kitchen and there is no-one else at home. I get to create something delicious and spend time by myself and it's a sweet treat (in more than one way).

These Lemon Muffins are my go to when I haven't got anything particular in mind and all my friends and neighbours seem to enjoy them. People are always asking me for the recipe, so everyone, here it is.. a complete tutorial along with a printable PDF which you can find at the bottom of the post. 

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and get all your ingredients together, here is what you need:

• 4 cups of white flour
• 4 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups of white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups of milk
• 2 large lemons
• 125 grams of buter
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1/2 cup sugar

2. Sift flour, white sugar and baking powder together in a large bowl.

3. Mix eggs, milk and the rind from 2 lemons into another bowl.

4. Melt the butter and add to flour mixture along with milk mixture. Mix until just combined.

5. Grease 2 x 12 muffin tins with butter and spoon mixture into tins. Fill about 2/3 full.

6. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, until top is a light gold. 

7. While the muffins are baking, combine the remaining sugar and the lemon juice together. Spoon over the    muffins as soon as they come out of the oven. Set on wire rack to cool. 

Serve with butter, cream or eat it by itself.

The sugar glaze over the top finishes the muffin off beautifully but you can always top this off with a cream cheese or vanilla cream icing.
