While I visited my sister in Florida, she baked a batch of these incredible muffins. They have a cake-like texture with sweet coconut and a mouthwatering lemon zing. I went home with the recipe.Nancy Rader, Columbus, Ohio Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup (8 ounces) lemon or vanilla yogurt |
1 egg |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
1 to 2 tablespoons grated lemon peel |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
topping: |
1/3 cup lemon juice |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, beat the yogurt, egg, butter, lemon peel and lemon juice until smooth; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the coconut.
2. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
3. In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice and sugar; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Stir in coconut. Using a toothpick, poke 6-8 holes in each muffin. Spoon the coconut mixture over muffins. Serve warm or cool to room temperature. Yield: 1 dozen.
