Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a Texas-sized muffin tin or line it with large muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another medium-sized bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the six wells of the Texas-sized muffin tin, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the muffins are cooling, make the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled muffins and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Texas Sized Lemon Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
