MEYER LEMON AND FRESH CRANBERRY MUFFINS



Meyer Lemon and Fresh Cranberry Muffins image

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.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest (from about 3 lemons; preferably Meyer)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar plus 3 tablespoons additional if using fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 1/4 cups fresh cranberries, chopped coarse, or 1 1/4 cups dried cranberries or dried cherries
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 cup heavy cream
Accompaniment: crème fraîche or whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • With a vegetable peeler remove the zest from lemons and chop fine, reserving lemons for another use.
  • In a food processor pulse flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, butter and zest until mixture resembles coarse meal and transfer to a large bowl.
  • 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.
  • Serve scones warm with crème fraîche or whipped cream. Scones keep, individually wrapped in plastic wrap and foil, chilled, 1 day or frozen 1 week.

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.

Conclusion:

These Meyer lemon and fresh cranberry muffins are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So, what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
