Lemon Muffins

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2) In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.

3) In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until well-blended (2 to 3 minutes). Add the eggs (one at a time), beating well after each addition.

4) Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, along with the milk and lemon zest. Beat until blended.

5) Pour the batter into a greased muffin pan, filling 3/4 full (if you don’t want to grease the pan, then use paper muffin cups).

6) Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

7) Remove the muffins and transfer to a wire rack. Using a fork, poke holes at the top of every muffin and drizzle the glaze over each muffin.

Prepare the glaze by stirring together the sugar and lemon juice. The sugar might not dissolve completely but it’s better that way because the muffins will have a sugar-filled crunch.
