"I love to have the dough for these muffins ready and waiting in the refrigerator when company comes. They bake up in just 20 minutes and taste delicious warm. Their cake-like texture makes them perfect for breakfast, dessert or snacking." —Claudette Brownlee, Kingfisher, Oklahoma

With a few of my own tweaks/touches, these muffins came out amazing! I made 12 regular size, 24 minis & 2 loaves which I added blueberries to before baking. Delicious!!!

Moist, sweet but not OVERLY sweet... absolutely scrumptious!

Super yummy with crisp crumb topping and high tops, nice and moist. But I thought it needed more lemon punch so I only gave it 4 stars! I want to make them again and add some lemon extract.

Delicious. I used a square muffin tin 1st batch and filled almost full. Had to cook them longer. 2nd batch turned out better. Glazed some and left the rest unglazed since they ate sweet enough on their own.

I make these with strawberry yogurt in place of the sour cream - and add a little more strawberry yogurt to the glaze. Fantastic (and a lot more healthy)! :)

Delicious! My family loves these muffins! :) I also occasionally leave off the glaze - but it does add a wonderful lemon tang!

Wonderful, even without the lemon & sugar syrup drizzled on top.

Every time I've made these I've gotten requests for the recipe and they don't last long around my house, everyone fights over the last one! I do halve the recipe as 20 muffins is more than enough for us, but the flavor can't be beat!

I loved these sweet, moist muffins! This recipe makes a huge batch, though. I found out that they keep in the freezer well and can be warmed up and enjoyed in a jiffy!

Yum! I skipped the glaze though, because they are sweet enough without it.
