Table of Contents
Ingredients:
4 eggs
150 g white sugar
60 ml cold milk
60 ml sunflower oil
100 g cold melted butter
125 g unsweetened plain yogurt
8 g vanilla sugar
300 g all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
16 g baking powder
Zest of one lemon or orange
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and white sugar until light and creamy.
Add the cold milk, sunflower oil, and cold melted butter to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the unsweetened plain yogurt and vanilla sugar, ensuring everything is thoroughly mixed.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add the lemon or orange zest to the flour mixture, giving it a quick stir to distribute the zest evenly.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
5. Fill and Bake:
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed.
6. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own or with a pat of butter or a dollop of jam.
Cooking Tips:
Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best texture, ensure that your eggs, milk, and melted butter are at room temperature before mixing.
Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. Mix the batter until just combined for a lighter texture.
