Lemon Curd Muffins

Makes 12
I use a commercial lemon curd – Barkers works realy well.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 eggs, lightly whisked
• 75 g butter, melted
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons lemon curd
• 5 tablespoons cream cheese
• juice of 1 lemon
• 3 tablespoons sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 200 C.
Sift together dry ingredients, make a well in the centre and pour in eggs, butter and buttermilk. Fill 1/3 of muffin pans with batter and then place a teaspoon of combined lemon curd and cream cheese. Top with remaining batter.
Cook for 12-15 minutes until golden and springy to the touch.
Mix together lemon juice and sugar and pour over hot muffins.
