Lemony Zest Sour Cream Muffins Recipes

WORLD'S BEST LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Combine sugar, milk, sour cream, butter, eggs, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Fold in the flour mixture until batter is just moistened. Fold in blueberries; avoid overmixing because batter will turn purple.
• Fill muffin cups 3/4 full of batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

SOUR CREAM LEMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Prep your muffin pan with a little non-stick spray and preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest. Use a whisk to break up any lumps and thoroughly combine.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the sour cream, eggs, butter, lemon juice, and lemon extract.
• Mix together with the whisk quickly until the batter is moist but combined. It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds or 20 strokes. Expect the batter to be thick and a little lumpy. If it seems overly thick (there will be some variation in moisture content between sour creams) feel free to add a splash more lemon juice.
• Divide the batter between the wells in your muffin pan (roughly 3/4 full) and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
• Bake for 16-24 minutes (depending on the size of your muffin) until the muffins are light golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over bake.
• Allow the muffins to sit in their tins on a wire rack for 5 minutes to cool. Then tap them out of the pan.
• Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
