These are delicious served warm or cold.
2 cups self-raising flour
3/4 cup sugar
75 g butter
1 cup milk
1 egg
grated rind of 1 large or 2 small lemons
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
Mix flour and sugar in bowl.
Melt butter, add the milk, egg and lemon rind. Beat well with a fork to combine.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until ingredients are only just dampened. Do not overmix.
Divide the mixture between 12 greased muffin cups. Bake at 200 C for 10 minutes.
Stir together the lemon juice and sugar and drizzle over the muffin as soon as they are removed from the oven. I like to prick the top of the muffins with a toothpick so the flavour soaks in more. Leave to stand in the pans for only a few minutes as the syrup will harden and stick the muffins to the pans.
yum! easy and delicious
really quick to prepare, lovely!
Lovely, quick & easy recipe. Mine turned out a little stodgy so must have over-mixed, had to add a little extra milk. Thanks for posting this & thanks google for bringing me here
I added a cup of sultanas to this recipe and the family voted them “best muffins ever” Thanks for this i am now going to try making a cake with the same recipe doubled for my cake decorating class on Saturday.
Mmmm you got me thinking… what if I added blueberries to this recipe? I tried it this morning and the result was sensational!
