Instructions
 

PREPARE THE MUFFINS:

  • Preheat the oven to 325℉. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the milk, eggs, lemon extract and lemon zest; beat well. Mix in the dry ingredients and beat just until combined.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake 16 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for about 20 minutes, then remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

ADD THE GLAZE:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to create a thick glaze. Place a piece of wax paper underneath the cooling rack. Drizzle the glaze over the tops of the muffins. It will run down the sides a little bit. Let the muffins sit until the glaze firms up. Enjoy! Keep extra muffins in a covered container for up to two days.
