Questions about Lemon muffin
How do you get a stronger lemon flavour in muffins?
Rub finely grated lemon zest into the caster sugar before mixing; this releases the fragrant oils. Add the juice as well, but don’t use lots more liquid or the muffins can turn dense.
How long do lemon muffins take to bake?
For standard-sized muffins, allow about 20–25 minutes at 180°C fan (200°C conventional). They’re ready when golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
How do you make lemon drizzle for muffins?
Stir lemon juice into granulated sugar, then spoon it over the muffins while they’re still warm. The sugar sets into a bright, slightly crunchy topping.
How should you store lemon muffins?
Once completely cool, keep them in an airtight tin at room temperature and eat within two to three days. Storing them in the fridge can make them dry.
Can you freeze lemon muffins?
Yes. Cool them completely, wrap individually or seal in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to three months. Defrost at room temperature before serving.
Can you use orange instead of lemon in muffins?
Yes: use finely grated orange zest and juice in the same amount as the lemon. The muffins will taste sweeter and less sharp.
Are lemon muffins lower in energy than plain muffins?
Only slightly: a plain muffin has 404 kcal per 100 g, compared with 391 kcal per 100 g for a lemon muffin.
