Weekend baking : Crunchy Lemon Muffins
These muffins are one of our favourites and are so quick and easy to whip up – a great ‘go-to’ recipe! I made them for the boys on Friday for their weekend hunting trip and they didn’t last long. (See recipe below)
Crunchy Lemon Muffins (Alison Holst)
2 cups SR flour
3/4 cup sugar
75g butter
1 cup milk
1 egg
Grated rind of a large lemon
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
Mix flour and first measure of sugar in a large bowl. In another bowl, melt butter, add milk, egg, lemon rind and beat to combine. Add liquids to dry ingredients, mixing just enough to combine. Spoon mixture into 12 well greased muffin tins and bake at 200ºC for 10 -12 minutes.
Stir lemon juice and sugar together, without dissolving the sugar and drizzle this mixture overthe hot mufins. Leave in trays a few minutes, but remove before sugar/juice mix hardens and sticks to tins.
An oldy but a goody.I add poppy seeds to the mix to give a bit more crunch
Thank you Alison for years of lovely recipes.
