I have been obsessed with lemons lately and I have had this recipe sitting on my counter "to do" for weeks now. The lemons I had purchased were threatening to go bad so I knew it was now or never. This is a recipe from Taste of Home, so you know these muffins are delicious (and loaded with butter). They are best served warm and their cake-like texture makes them perfect for breakfast, dessert or snaking.
Prep time: 25 mins
Cook time: 20-25 mins
Serves: 40
INGREDIENTS:
6 cups all-purpose flour
6 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups sugar
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
8 eggs
2 cups sour cream
2 cups butter, melted
3 tbsp grated lemon peel
2 tbsp lemon juice
Topping:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
Glaze:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, butter, lemon peel and juice. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full.
In a small bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over batter.
