Lemon Cornmeal Muffins
Today I made Lemon Cornmeal Muffins!
1C lemon juice (about 4 lemons’ worth), 1/2C butter, melted, 1 1/4C flour, 1T baking powder, 1/2t baking soda, heaping 1 3/4C cornmeal, heaping 2/3C sugar, 2 eggs
Preheat oven to 400F.
Sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Stir in cornmeal and sugar. In separate bowl, beat eggs and cooled melted butter. Add zest to the juice. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Stir in juice and egg mixtures just until blended. Spoon into greased, non-stick or paper-lined muffin tin. Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
