Stephanie's Once Only Cooking Recipe: Lemon & Honey Muffins

This week I wanted to use some of the lemons and the abundant mint from the garden, so I thought a quick breakfast would be a good way to make yummy use of both and I had some great local honey which is just perfect for this recipe. This would also make a great dessert on a hot summer night! For the yoghurt, I like the plain/unsweetened cremoso Greek style (Milbona from Lidl is good) as it is very creamy and holds up well with the berries. Here's what you'll be needing for making the muffins as well as what makes it different:>>>

Honey and lemon muffins - Ready in 30 mins 

Delicious lemony muffins with a hidden honey centre. For breakfast or afternoon tea, these are not too sweet, but moist and delectable.

100g caster sugar (azúcar glas, or en polvo)

250g self-raising flour (harina con levadura, or royal)

1 teaspoon baking powder (levadura)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 grated lemon zest

1 juice of a lemon

180ml milk

1 egg

80ml oil

1 tablespoon set honey (cold is best as it is easier to work with) (I like all the local honey available)
