Lemon Spice Muffins

Couldn't pass up this one, lemon + tangy spices + baking = happy belly goodness.

Lemon Spice Muffins

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tbsp lemon zest
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 egg

Sift all your dry ingredients in a medium-size bowl.  Add the zest and mix well.

In a small bowl, whisk together all your liquid ingredients.

Add your liquids to the flour mix and and stir together until your dry ingredients are just moistened (it's okay if the batter is lumpy).

Fill your muffin tins (lined with your favorite cupcake holders) until 2/3 full.

Bake at 400 degree for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden.

NOTES

One regular-sized lemon will yield 1 tbsp of zest. 

Since you had to go ahead and zest your lemon, use the fresh lemon juice.

Makes a dozen muffins.
