CITRUS MUFFINS

Preparation Method :

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Line a 10- or 12-hole non-stick muffin tray with paper cases.
• Sift together the dry ingredients. Whisk together the lemon and lime zest and juice with the egg, buttermilk and butter in a large mixing bowl.
• Stir the dry ingredients quickly into the whisked mixture, but don't blend smoothly; the batter should be a little lumpy.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared cases almost to the top.
• Transfer to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the tops are well risen and springy to the touch.
• Test one by inserting a skewer into the centre to check it comes out clean.
• Make a lemon drizzle sauce by gently heating the lemon juice and sugar without boiling for about 3 - 5 minutes.
• Spoon over the hot muffins and top with the zest. Slice off the top of muffins, spread with a little lemon curd and replace the lids.
