9 Reviews of Mean Chef's Lemon Sour Cream Muffins

These were good, light and moist, almost fluffy and not too sweet. I did expect a stronger lemon flavor though, so next will add the zest of the rest of the lemons that were used. Thanks!

    Very moist and tasty, for some reason, tops did not "dome", but still the muffins were good.

    Whew..I thought I had really screwed these up. I went to put the muffin pan into the oven and (gasp) there was the butter still sitting on the stovetop. I emptied the tins, expecting that going back and incorporating the butter into the batter would turn this great smelling batter into hockey pucks. But you can't loose when it's a Mean Chef recipe. The muffins turned out light and moist. They were great....cake-like. In fact, they would be a great alternative to cupcakes with a light drizzle of glaze or even a frosting. You'll never miss the extra sugar of a cupcake recipe. The zest of the additional lemon was enough, although I may zest the lemon that the original 1/4 c of juice came from. It will add a bit more of a lemony taste to these wonderful treats. Muchas gracias, Mean Chef!

    This is a very good muffin. Lovely texture and flavor although I did expect them to rise and "dome" a little more considering all the leavening agents. I might try adding a tiny bit more flour to give them a little more body but don't want to destroy the "lightness". The lemon was just right and the recipe is definitely a keeper.
