Steps:
- Grate the zest of the lime and set aside.
- Cut the outer pith from the lime and then carefully slide the knife under one membrane and gently remove a segment of lime flesh.
- Continue until all lime flesh has been extracted into a bowl for later use.
- NB. This isn't as hard as it sounds as the lime membranes are quite fibrous. Alternatively you could just squeeze the limes and use the juice.
- Now sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together the egg, sugar, milk, butter and vanilla.
- Return the dry ingredients to the sifter and sift again over the egg mixture (Delia says this double sifting is essential, and hey, Delia always knows best!).
- Quickly fold the flour into the egg mixture, taking no more than 15 seconds, as over-mixing will prevent them rising.
- Add the lime zest, lime flesh, white chocolate and coconut (or whatever variation you prefer), combining with minimum stirring.
- Spoon into muffin trays and bake at 200C on a high shelf.
- Large muffins should take 30 minutes, smaller mini-muffins only about 20 minutes.
- Makes 6 large muffins or 20 mini-muffins.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla extract, key lime zest and juice and mix well. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In 5 parts total, alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined. Fold the coconut into the cupcake batter.
- Line a muffin pan with paper liners and fill each liner almost to the top with batter. A spring loaded 1/4 cup ice cream scoop works great for this and ensures the cupcakes are all the same size. Bake for 25 minutes or until the tops begin to brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer cupcakes to a baking rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes are cooling you can make the frosting. In a small heat proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, carefully and slowly melt the white chocolate. Remove from heat and let cool until just slightly warm. Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, gradually add the powdered sugar until well combined. Add the salt, vanilla extract, key lime juice, and sour cream and mix until very smooth. Add the melted white chocolate and mix just until incorporated.
- Frost the cupcakes and garnish with a bit of grated key lime zest. Enjoy!

TEXAS LIME IN THE COCONUT MUFFINS
This recipe was devised when I had a lot of limes on hand. I'm sure you could use any citrus fruit you like. The key is using healthy ingredients! This muffin is a moderately sweet breakfast treat but much healthier than sweet cereal. The coconut oil is very healthy for you, and so is the flaxseed. Never use margarine! Always use non-aluminum baking powder. I use white whole wheat flour, it comes from white wheat instead of red wheat. These are always a hit at my house.

Tips:
- To achieve a moist and fluffy texture, make sure not to overmix the batter. It's okay to leave a few lumps behind.
- For an intense lime flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice and zest. Grating the zest directly from the lime will release the most flavorful oils.
- Don't overcrowd the muffin tins. Leave enough space between each muffin cup to allow for proper air circulation and even baking.
- To prevent the muffins from sticking, grease the muffin tins thoroughly or use muffin liners.
- To test if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one of the muffins. If it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
