Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add in the eggs, melted butter, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined. The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and set. They may puff up and then settle as they cool.
- Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Chill for 1–2 hours before serving for the best texture. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or top with a dollop of whipped cream.
