Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells with butter.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
While the muffins are baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
-
When the muffins are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
-
Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm muffins, allowing it to set for a few minutes before serving.
