    Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease 18 medium-sized muffin holes or use paper cases.

    2 Place dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir with a fork until well combined.

    3 In another bowl combine melted spread, milk, egg and lemon zest.

    4 Make a well in flour mixture and add milk mixture all at once. Mix briefly — only until flour is just dampened.

    5 Spoon mixture into prepared tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until top springs back when lightly pressed and muffins are golden brown.

    6 To make lemon syrup, combine lemon juice and sugar in a small bowl. Pour syrup over muffins while still hot and in trays. Remove muffins from trays before syrup hardens.
