Taste of Home Volunteer Field Editor reviewThese are so easy and tasty! I added some lemon zest for a little more zing but they are a stand alone act. They are wonderful even without the glaze! They come out tender and moist. I used Greek plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Batch doubles well. Easily made with what you have in your pantry. I am sure it would be wonderful with orange flavors, too!
These muffins can double for breakfast and dessert! These are so incredibly moist and flavorful!! We'll try these again and again!!
These are very light and fluffy muffins and do take some characteristics from their namesake, pound cake. Overall, they are very tasty and well complemented by the lemon glaze, which hardens up with time, but I cannot deny that perhaps they were a little dry and not as perky as pound cake. I wouldn't say this hampers my satisfaction with the recipe, because they were still delicious.
Very tasty. I love the glaze on top!
Love this recipe
I won't make these again. They are a bit dry and just so-so tasting.
I was worried after reading that first comment, that these wouldn't turn out right. Then I was worried when I saw how thick the batter was, but chalked it up to using sour cream instead of milk in the recipe. They turned out great! not too sweet, great for breakfast. They weren't the most moist, but next time I may try to take them out of the oven sooner. I baked them exactly 18 minutes. I will be making these again!
This is an excellent muffin! Very moist. The last reviewer must have made a mistake. I like to add some blueberries and I omit the glaze.
These were dry and just bland. I can't believe this is a contest winning recipe. Did you even try these when you did the contest? Very disappointing!!!!
My family is in love with these muffins and requests them often. YUMMY! :)
