Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for optional topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the tops of the muffins with powdered sugar before serving for an added touch of sweetness.
