triple lemon muffins

chad's parents have great fruit trees bursting with lemons. we took a bag full and came up with these yummy lemon muffins.

we had about 12 small to medium lemons.

batter:

3 1/2 c flour (we used whole wheat)

1 tablespoon baking powder (look for aluminum free)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 c sugar

grated rind (just the yellow part) of 2 lemons

1 c milk

1/4 c lemon juice

2 eggs

1 c melted butter (2 sticks)

in one bowl combine the wet stuff , leave the butter separate

in a big bowl combine the dry stuff

add the wet to the dry stir a little, then add the melted butter and stir just to combine

overstirring makes more dense muffins

grease muffin tins, filling almost to the top

bake at 350 for 15-20 min until golden

meanwhile.............   make syrup.

1/2c sugar

1/4 c lemon juice

bring to boil and simmer till sugar dissolves.

while the muffins are warm poke lots of hole with a kebab skewer. spoon syrup over the top

(i should of photographed this, but thing were hectic in the kitchen and i forgot.)

let cool

meanwhile........since everything is better with frosting.

mix 1c powdered sugar with enough lemon juice to form a drizzle consistency frosting.

drizzle away and eat. we ate so many no one ate dinner.
