I only had this recipe a short time before it became a personal favorite. Folks like the light and tender texture of these muffins. I'm grateful to my mother, who taught me the goodness of baking from scratch.

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup lemon or plain yogurt
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the egg, yogurt, butter and lemon juice. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  2. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes; leave muffins in pan.
  3. Using a toothpick, poke 6-8 holes in each muffin. In a saucepan, combine the topping ingredients. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Spoon over warm muffins.
