Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wire whisk
  • 1 rubber spatula or wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 zest and juice of lemon about 1/4 cup juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure lemon extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Optional Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • zest and juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉ and line muffin tins with paper liners. Set aside.
  • Pour sugar into a large mixing bowl; add lemon zest and rub into sugar with clean hands, until fully incorporated and sugar smells lemony.
  • Add melted butter, eggs, lemon extract to the sugar mixture, and whisk until well blended. Whisk in milk and lemon juice.
  • Using a mesh strainer, sift dry ingredients into wet ingredients and fold in just until combined. Dust raspberries with a bit of flour and fold into the batter. Let batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter into prepared muffin tins. Bake at 400 ℉ for 5 minutes. Turn heat down to 375 ℉ and continue to bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until tester inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven, cool in tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

Optional Glaze

  • In a small mixing bowl stir together 1 cup powdered sugar, juice and zest of half a lemon. Add additional powdered sugar or juice to get a thick drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled muffins.
