Glazed Lemon Muffins

When Deanna married our brother we (the sisters) threw her a bridal shower.  I tried 15 new muffin recipes trying to come up with the perfect muffins to serve.  This recipe is simply wonderful.  I actually didn't choose this for the shower because it is a pretty time consuming recipe but this one was my favorite of all that I tried.  With a whole cube of butter in the recipe plus streusel topping and glaze this recipe is a special treat for a special occasion and not a muffin I make frequently but when I do...yummmm.

1 1/2 C. Flour
1 C. Sugar
1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 Eggs
1/2 C. Plain Yogurt or Sour Cream
1/2 C. Butter, melted
Zest from 1 Lemon
Juice from 1 Lemon

Streusel:
3 T. Flour
3 T. Sugar
1 T. Cold Butter
*Cut these ingredients in together with a pastry blender or 2 knives and set aside.

Glaze:
1/4 C. Powdered Sugar
1 T. Lemon Juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Add wet ingredients and mix until just combined and moistened.  Don't over mix or you won't get fluffy muffins.  Let the batter rest for a few minutes while you grease your muffin tin.  Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full.  Sprinkle about 1 1/2 tsp. of streusel topping over each muffin before you put it in the oven.  Then bake muffins for 25 minutes.  Mix up glaze while the muffins are baking.  When the muffins come out of the oven let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer them to a plate.  Drizzle a small amount of glaze over top of each muffin.  These are great warm or cold.  Makes 12 muffins.
