Lemon Muffins

Spring is here with lots of sunshine (erhm I wish...) but it's warmer outside and while waiting for the sun to come out, we can at least enjoy these little sunshine muffins with fresh lemon flavours.These little goodies are my contribution to Månadens Sötsak  ("The sweet of the month"), and the challenge this time was to bake something in the theme "fabulous". This Lemon Muffin recipe is truly fabulous. The muffins are light, fresh and yet such a simple spring treat. They are so melt in the mouth divine and moist that you actually can eat a whole bunch...or at least I managed:-)

Lemon Muffins, 12 regular sized

100 grams butter

3/4 dl milk (75ml)

1 1/2 dl sugar (150ml)

2 eggs

1 tsp baking powder

2 1/2 dl flour (250ml)

1 tsp vanilla sugar

1 tbsl potato starch (you can also use corn-, rice-starch or arrowroot)

zest from 1 lemon

Pre-heat the oven to 225 degrees C.

Grease a muffin tin or place muffins cups in it.

Melt the butter and mix with the milk. Let cool down.

Mix sugar and eggs until white and fluffy.

In another bowl, combine baking powder, flour, vanilla sugar and potato starch.

Add the dry ingredients, the butter and milk mix along with the lemon zest to the egg and sugar mixture. Fold carefully until just blended. It doesn't matter if you still have small lumps from the flour. These will disappear while baking.

Place in the middle of the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until golden

I've also joined Sweet Adventures Blog Hop who this month had Lemons as a key ingredients. And since I adore my little Lemon Muffins I thought it would be a great way of sharing the recipe with other Lemon Lovers like me:-)

ENJOY!
