Instructions

Lemon Muffins:

Preheat oven to 428°F / 220°C and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar with a whisk or electric mixer for 2 - 3 minutes until creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla and mix again for 1 minute.
Add the buttermilk, sour cream and lemon juice and mix again.
Mix in the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a spatula until you have a smooth mixture with a few lumps left.
Fill each case with the muffin batter using a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop, making sure to fill them well.
Bake for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 392°F / 200°C and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes until the muffins are puffed and golden on top.
Allow muffins to cool completely.

Sugar Icing:

In a small bowl put the powdered sugar and lemon juice.
With a fork, vigorously mix the mixture until it is smooth and runny. If the mixture seems too liquid add more powdered sugar and mix or if the mixture seems too thick add a few drops of liquid and mix again.
