Lemon and cream cheese muffins
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup of freshly ssqueezed lemon juice
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons of lemon rind, freshly grated
1/2 cup of melted butter
1 Cup of unsifted flour
1/2 Cup of sugar PLUS
2 Tablespoons of sugar
1 Tablespoon of baking powder
1 Teaspoon of salt
Block of cream cheese (you can use the pottled stuff, but the block form is easier)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius.
Stir lemon juice, lemon rind, eggs and butter together in a bowl.
In another bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Grease the muffin tray (this makes around 12 muffins).
Mix the two mixtures together, but don't stir too much otherwise the muffins go rubbery. I usually use a whisk when stirring anything, makes it go nice and fluffy.
put around about just less than a spoonfull of mixture into each cup. then place the desired amount of cream cheese in the middle and cover with another spoon full of mixture.
Sprinkle each muffin with sugar (thats what the 2 Tablespoons of sugar are for).
Bake for 15 to 20mins until they are lightly browned.
