Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4) and line a muffin tin with large paper cases.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, caster sugar, beaten eggs, self-raising flour, baking powder, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and yogurt.

Mix the batter using a wooden spoon or an electric whisk until it is completely smooth and well combined.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cases until they are about three-quarters full. This recipe typically makes up to six large muffins.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the muffins have risen and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the icing by sieving the icing sugar into a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining lemon juice until you reach a thick but pourable consistency.
