Posted by Alexandra on May 6, 2012 in Muffin Monday, Recipes | ∞
Welcome to Muffin (and Cupcake) Monday!
Try these muffins for some lemony goodness.  Lemon muffins with fresh lemon juice and grated lemon peel.
Ingredients:
Muffin batter:
  • 1 cup shortening (I used Crisco Butter flavor shortening sticks)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 to 4 lemons
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Lemon glaze:

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Line muffin cups  with paper bake cups or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy; add egg yolks, beating until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl. combine flour, baking powder, and salt.  Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with lemon juice, beating well after each addition. End with dry ingredients.
  4. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter.  Stir in lemon zest.
  5. Fill muffin cups about three-quarters full. Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes, until light golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
  6. In a medium bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing together the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
  7. When muffins have cooled slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden.
  8. Enjoy!
