These were ok, but nothing spectacular. They didn't rise, so I would recommend filling high. Made 3 doz. mini-muffins.

    Started to make this but in the end, did not use the topping. I used all the zest and juice of the lemon in the batter and used oil instead of butter. (no use of the last 1/4 cup sugar) I had all purpose flour so added 2 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp soda with 1/4 tsp salt. I put 2 pecan halves on the tops. Baked 15 minutes. Not too bad. Easy!

    This is a wonderful light muffin, and it is very forgiving. When I made it I made two mistakes, one involving the melted butter and cold milk, the other was reading the temperature incorrectly. It didn't matter, I adjusted the temperature after cooking for 10 minutes, cooked it a little longer and it turned out fine. I will try this again with limes and also with oranges.

    Very good muffin. The lemon flavor was just enough and not too overpowering which I liked. I didn't have self-rising flour, so I used all purpose and added 3 tsp. baking powder and just under 1 tsp. of salt. And for those of you who are unsure, 75 mg of butter is 5 TBSP. and I baked at 350 Farenheit for 20 minutes. Will make this again!!
