GLAZED LEMON MUFFINS

This week I had the elder's wives over for a morning coffee, and I made Glazed Lemon Muffins, when I was grating the lemon peel to put into the batter, it just smelled amazing in the kitchen! lemon is very aromatic, and really infuses what you put it in. Next time I will use less sugar for the glaze, it was a bit sweet, even my youngest thought it was too sweet and he loves sweet things.

 

 

1/2 Cup Margarine or Butter
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup of Milk
1 1/2  Cups of Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Grated rind of 1 Lemon

In large bowl cream Butter, Sugar and Eggs. In another bowl thoroughly stir Flour, Baking Powder, Salt and Lemon rind. Pour this over the Butter,Sugar and Egg mixture, stir just to moisten. Fill muffin cups 1/2 full, bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 mins or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and glaze.
