Lemon Crunchy Crumb Muffins
10 servings
45 minutes
Lemon muffins with a crispy crumb are the embodiment of freshness and tenderness in one dessert. Their history is rooted in European baking traditions, where lemon is used to brighten the flavor. The muffins have an airy texture thanks to the combination of sour cream and butter, while lemon zest and juice add a refreshing citrus aroma. The crispy crumb provides an appetizing contrast, and the glaze finishes the composition with a subtle sweet note. These muffins are perfect for morning coffee, cozy tea time, or as a light dessert after the main course.
