Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2-cups of all- purpose flour
2/3 cup of sugar
2tbs.baking power
1/4 tsp.baking soda
3/4 cup of sour cream
1-lemon ,zested and juiced
2-large eggs
1 tsp.vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. lemon extract
1-stick of unsalted butter,melted

Steps:

  • 1. 1-Wisk the dry ingredients ,including the lemon zest,together in a large bowl.
  • 2. 2-In another bowl,wisk the remaining ingredients including the lemon juice.
  • 3. 3-Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients.Gently ,but quicky ,stir every thing together.Don't worry about a few lumps remaning,as it is better then having a over mixed batter...
  • 4. 4-Spoon batter into paper or foil lined muffin tins.Bake in a 350 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or untill muffins are golden brown in color .Cool 5 minutes before taking out of pan..
  • 5. PERSONAL NOTE::::These can be made in mini muffins pans.If you do not have muffin liners just spray with pam or Bakers Joy.....

Tips:

  • Muffin Batter: Ensure your muffin batter is not overmixed. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour too much, leading to tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Sour Cream: Use full-fat sour cream for a richer flavor and texture. If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute it with an equal amount of plain yogurt.
  • Lemon Zest: Freshly grated lemon zest provides the best flavor. Use a microplane grater to finely grate the zest without getting the bitter white pith.
  • Muffin Pan Preparation: Grease or line your muffin pan with paper liners to prevent sticking. This will also make it easier to remove the muffins from the pan.
  • Baking Temperature: Pay attention to the recommended baking temperature and time in the recipe. Different muffin recipes may have different baking requirements.
  • Checking for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the muffins are done.
  • Cooling Muffins: After baking, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before storing or serving. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Lemony sour cream muffins are a delightful treat that combines the tangy brightness of lemon with the richness of sour cream. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack. With a few simple tips, you can easily create moist, flavorful, and bakery-style muffins at home.
