Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should have some lumps.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
