1. Start by preheating your oven to 350F and grease or line your muffin tin.
2. In bowl, add your zested lemons(3), and your zested lime(1) and sugar(200g). And hand mix together, be sure to rub the sugar into the lemons and lime zest.
3. Next, add your melted butter(75g), oil(100ml), whole milk(150ml), splash of lemon extract and 1 egg. Mix until combined.
4. Add your self raising flour(300g), be careful not to over mix. Over mixing will lead to dense muffins. Mix just enough so you cannot see any flour left.
5. Add the batter into your greased tin or your muffin cups. Add about 2 spoonfuls each.
6. Bake muffins for about 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Once baked, allow muffins to cool for about 15 minutes on a wire rack before adding your lemon curd.
8. Once cooled, get a straw and make holes in the center of the muffin, be sure to make the hole big enough to have space for the lemon curd.
9. Next, fill a piping bag with lemon curd and fill the holes.
10. Lastly make your icing, 100g powdered sugar plus 2 tablespoons of water. Drizzle the icing on top and dust with powdered sugar
11. Enjoy!!

Lemon muffins are a delightful treat that combines the bright, tangy flavors of lemons with the softness of a well-baked muffin. For those unfamiliar with the process, these muffins start with the essential zing from lemon zest, enhancing their flavor profile. Incorporating lemon curd introduces a sweet and tart surprise at the center, adding depth and richness to every bite. When baking, the perfect lemon muffin requires precise measurements and technique. Over-mixing the batter can lead to dense muffins, which is why it's crucial to mix only until the ingredients are just combined. Additionally, using quality ingredients, such as fresh lemons and quality butter, will significantly enhance the muffin's flavor. The lemon extract is also an essential ingredient, as it boosts the citrus flavor without altering the texture. For optimal results, consider these tips: Preheating your oven adequately ensures even baking, and allowing your muffins to cool before adding the lemon curd prevents them from collapsing. The addition of an icing made with powdered sugar and water not only visually enhances the muffins but also adds an extra layer of sweetness that balances the tartness of the lemon. Pair these muffins with a light tea or a refreshing drink for a delightful afternoon snack. They are perfect for brunches, celebrations, or simply to enjoy at home. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this lemon muffin recipe offers a perfect way to indulge in a citrus-flavored treat that's sure to please everyone!
