¼ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
¾ cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
2 + ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon zest, just the yellow part not the pith
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
topping:
2 tablespoons melted butter
granulated sugar
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Grease a 12 cup muffin pan or a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
- Add lemon juice to a large glass then add milk; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate large bowl stir together the milk mixture, butter, egg, yogurt, lemon zest and vanilla (don’t worry if it looks clumpy or curdled).
- Make a well in center of the dry ingredients and add the wet, stir just to combine
- Don't overmix or you'll have rubbery muffins.
- Spoon batter or use an ice cream scoop to fill muffin cups ¾ of the way full.
- Bake minis 12-14 minutes and large 18-20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Cool pans on wire racks 5 minutes then turn out
- Brush the tops and sides with melted butter
- Dip or roll in sugar - you can put sugar in a paper bag and gently shake each muffin until coated.
- Once cooled roll in sugar again
