Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Then whisk in the eggs, milk, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of the freshly squeezed lemon juice until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, prepare the lemon drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and water until smooth. The consistency should be thin enough to drizzle but not too runny.
Once the muffins are done, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle the prepared lemon glaze over the cooled muffins using a spoon or a small piping bag.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your tangy, sweet Lemon Drizzled Lemon Muffins!
