MEYER LEMON AND FRESH CRANBERRY MUFFINS
In a large plastic bag in the reduced produce section of my grocery store I scored 10 lemons for a dollar. There were three Meyer lemons in the mix and I knew that I wanted to do something with them. This recipe only uses 1 lemon, Meyers are best but you could use a regular lemon too. This recipe is from the everyone likes sandwiches blog.

Steps:

- In a small bowl toss together fresh cranberries and 3 tablespoons sugar and stir into flour mixture. If using dried fruit, add to flour mixture.
- In another small bowl lightly beat egg and yolk and stir in cream. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- On a well-floured surface with floured hands pat dough into a 1-inch-thick round (about 8 inches in diameter) and with a 2-inch round cutter or rim of a glass dipped in flour cut out as many rounds as possible, rerolling scraps as necessary. Arrange rounds about 1 inch apart on baking sheet and bake in middle of oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until pale golden.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
- Grate the zest of the Meyer lemons before juicing them. This will add a burst of citrus flavor to the muffins.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing during baking.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
