Lemon zest muffins

Lemon muffins with zest are a refined combination of airy dough and bright citrus freshness. These small aromatic cupcakes come from European cuisine, where lemon pastries are valued for their lightness and subtle flavor. The golden crust hides a tender, slightly moist crumb with the refreshing tartness of lemon juice and the spicy aroma of zest. Perfect for morning coffee or a cozy tea time, they provide energy and a feeling of a sunny day. They can be served as an independent dessert or decorated with sugar glaze for a more festive option. They are easy to prepare, and the result pleases both the eye and the palate.
