Glazed Lemon Muffins
Simple lemon muffins with a generous addition of sweet glaze!
Ingredients
MUFFINS:
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon extract
- grated zest of one lemon
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
GLAZE:
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
PREPARE THE MUFFINS:
- Preheat the oven to 325℉. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the milk, eggs, lemon extract and lemon zest; beat well. Mix in the dry ingredients and beat just until combined.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake 16 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for about 20 minutes, then remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
ADD THE GLAZE:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to create a thick glaze. Place a piece of wax paper underneath the cooling rack. Drizzle the glaze over the tops of the muffins. It will run down the sides a little bit. Let the muffins sit until the glaze firms up. Enjoy! Keep extra muffins in a covered container for up to two days.
