Original recipe by bbcgoodfood.com

Ingredients

  • 100 g unsalted butter , softened
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs , beaten
  • 115 g self-raising flour
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder
  • 2 lemons , zested, plus 2 tbsp of lemon juice
  • 100 g yogurt
  • 150 g icing sugar
  • 1 lemon , juiced

Steps

  1. Line a muffin tin with large muffin cases. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until smooth using a wooden spoon or an electric whisk. Spoon tablespoons of the batter into the muffin cases until they’re three-quarters full (you can make up to six, depending on the case size). Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave on a cooling rack to cool completely.
  2. Meanwhile, make the icing. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and gradually add lemon juice until you have a thick but pourable icing – you may not need all of the juice. Drizzle over the cooled muffins and serve.
