Easy Lemon Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, zest, juice, and milk. Whisk in butter. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, until just combined.
• Divide batter evenly between muffin cups, adding a scant 1/4 cup to each. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Line a muffin tin with large muffin cases. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until smooth using a wooden spoon or an electric whisk. Spoon tablespoons of the batter into the muffin cases until they're three-quarters full (you can make up to 8, depending on the case size). Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave on a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the icing. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and gradually add lemon juice until you have a thick but pourable icing - you may not need all of the juice. Drizzle over the cooled muffins and serve.
