Lemon Muffins with sweet Lime glaze

My friends and I were having a movie night of sorts to watch The Departed the night before the SAT's to take our minds off it. We would quote lines from the movie all day everyday, and most people had no idea what we were talking about. So now every time I hang out with people, I'm kinda obligated to make food haha. These muffins are great snacks to have during a movie, they don't make a lot of noise while eating and taste great!

Lemon Muffins

Makes around 16

3 cup flour
1 tbsp baking powder1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp lime juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp lemon zest
2 tbsp lemon juice2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tbsp lime juice for glaze
1 cup powdered sugar for glaze

Directions

1.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and position a rack in the center. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners.

2.In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt then set it aside.

3.In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and sugar until it's light a fluffy. Add lemon zest and lemon/lime juice then mix that in. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until each is just incorporated. Alternate the addition of milk and the dry ingredients by thirds, making sure not to over mix each addition.

4.Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin and fill each nearly to the brim of the liner. Bake them for 15 – 20 minutes until the tops are a nice golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer them to a cooling rack.

5.While the muffins cool mix together the reserved lime juice and powdered sugar until there are no lumps. Add more lemon juice or powdered sugar depending on your desired consistency. When the muffins have cooled about 5 – 10 minutes drizzle about a tbsp of glaze over top of each. Enjoy!
