Lemon muffins are baked breads with a soft, moist inside and firm outer crust. They have a slight lemon flavor and can be made from scratch or purchased. A lemon-sweetened syrup can be added for extra flavor. They can be eaten hot or reheated in the microwave.
Lemon Muffins are baked breads with soft, moist insides and firm outer crusts. They are usually pale yellow on the inside and golden brown on the outside. These muffins have a slight lemon flavor, which is slightly tart and sweet.
Muffins resemble cupcakes by having a puffy, rounded top and a cylindrical base, which is sometimes encased in a paper or aluminum cup. Lemon Muffins take shape when the batter is placed in a muffin cup or muffin pan and baked. As the pastry cooks, it rises and develops the outer crust, which helps preserve their muffin shape after they’re removed from the oven.
Lemon muffins are mostly made with the same ingredients used to make other muffins. The main ingredients are sugar, fat, egg, yeast and wheat flour. Other ingredients like lemon juice and zest add the lemon flavor to these muffins.
The cook will occasionally whip up a lemon-sweetened syrup for the muffins. After the muffins are baked, holes are poked in their tops with a fork and syrup is poured into them. This syrup is absorbed into the bread, infusing it with added moisture and flavor. The muffins are set aside to allow the syrup to freeze before eating.
Muffins can be made from scratch, made with boxed muffin mixes, or purchased from stores or bakeries. Muffin mixes and most muffins sold in stores have a preservative added to keep the baked good from going stale. When making muffins at home, the average cook should be ready to eat these items within a couple of days. To keep them longer, the muffins can be placed in a tightly sealed plastic container, covered with wax paper and placed in the refrigerator.
Lemon Muffins can be eaten hot from the oven, at room temperature, or reheated in the microwave. To reheat a lemon muffin, remove the foil cup if necessary and wrap the muffin in a paper towel. The wrapped muffin should be placed in the microwave and heated in 10 second intervals until hot.
