I found this recipe in an old book of Aaron's grandmother's - one of those community collections of recipes. All things lemon sounds fabulous right now, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Lemon Buns
Cream together:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
Add:
2 eggs
1 cup milk
rind of 1 lemon
Sift together:
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir.
Bake in bun tins 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
The recipe called them buns, so I was picturing bread buns, but they are more like a cross between a muffin and a cupcake - very light and moist, with a nice lemon flavor. I did swap out half the milk for some lemon yogurt, so that may have helped.
Because the directions were vague, I put half the batter in a lined muffin tin, and half in a sprayed one - they got a nice crust in the sprayed pan, which was nice when they were warm, but next time I'll just use cupcake wrappers (since I have a million of them in all patterns and sizes).
