Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Then whisk in the eggs, milk, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of the freshly squeezed lemon juice until combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the muffins are baking, prepare the lemon drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and water until smooth. The consistency should be thin enough to drizzle but not too runny.

Step 8

Once the muffins are done, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Drizzle the prepared lemon glaze over the cooled muffins using a spoon or a small piping bag.

Step 10

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your tangy, sweet Lemon Drizzled Lemon Muffins!
