Lemon Crunch Muffins
(makes12)

Ingredients
2 cups self-raising flour
3/4 cup sugar
75g butter
1 cup milk
1 egg
grated rind of 2 lemons

Topping
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar

Directions
In a bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Melt the butter and in a separate bowl, combine with the milk, egg and lemon rind. Beat well. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and fold in. (Do not THOROUGHLY mix in, just mix until the dry ingredients are lightly dampened.)

Lightly grease a 12 medium-sized cup muffin pan and spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. \While the muffins are in the oven, stir together the 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of sugar.

Drizzle this lemon/sugar mixture over the hot muffins as soon as they are removed from the oven. Leave the muffins to stand in the pans just for a few minutes removing before the syrup drizzled on top hardens as it cools and causes the muffins to stick to the pans!
