By Suesee50

Ingredients

• TOPPING:
• 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 cup (8 ounces) lemon or plain yogurt
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the egg, yogurt, butter and lemon juice. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes; leave muffins in pan.

Using a toothpick, poke 6-8 holes in each muffin. In a saucepan, combine the topping ingredients. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Spoon over warm muffins.
