"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

These muffins were great. I made them as mini muffins so the struessel didn't turn out as pictured but they were still really good. Lemon is not usually my favorite but these were really good. My family has asked me to make them again.

These are incredible, not too sweet, soft cake-like texture

These are excellent. I added poppy seeds to half of the batter.

we found these to be heavy, a bit dry and lacking in flavor..

I halved the ingredients because I have no need for 40 muffins. These taste very good, theyre very dense and the lemon adds a nice zing. Also I could really taste the sour cream which was kind of weird. The only negative I would say is that the crumbly topping albeit good was very messy when I was transferring these to a wire rack
