Directions
A really great recipe for cream cheese lemon muffins. They are a perfect lazy Sunday breakfast treat served with cantaloupe or other fruit. The aroma of them baking will get the sleepiest of sleepyheads out of bed.
Mix egg, oil, milk and sugar together. Cut cream cheese into small pieces, mix with 2 tbsps. flour. Grate 1 lemon into batter. Add rest of ingredients. Eliminate salt and baking powder if you use self-rising flour. Mix ingredients and spoon into 12 greased muffin tins. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Topping 2 tbspns lemon juice (fresh) 1 tbsp. sugar. Mix to form sugar. Pour over warm muffins. Michael Salster
