Sticky Lemon Muffins….

Tonight was a good night – we made some sticky lemon muffins together and ate ice lollies while they cooked!   

The muffins tasted gorgeous (especially warm) so I thought I’d share our secret sticky lemon muffin recipe with you….

Ingredients

• 225 g softened butter or margarine
• 225 g sugar
• 4 medium eggs
• grated zest of two lemons
• vanilla essence
• 225g SR flour
• the juice of two lemons
• 85g sugar

Pre heat the oven to around 190 c

1. This is the easiest recipe ever – add the butter, sugar (using the 225g sugar and leaving the 85g sugar for later), eggs, zest and vanilla essence to a mixing bowl and beat it all together. 
2. Fold in the flour and then spoon in to your muffin cases.
3. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes.
4. Mix the lemon juice and the remaining sugar together and while the muffins are still warm, spoon the juice over the muffins.
5. As they cool, the juice will sink into the muffins leaving the sugar to go crunchy on the top.
