Muffins
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Lemon Glaze
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Grease (or line with muffin papers) a 12-cup muffin pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
3
In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, lemon juice, lemon extract, sugar and eggs until just combined (do not over beat). Using a wooden spoon, fold in the flour mixture in a few swift strokes to form a smooth batter.
4
Divide the batter into the 12 muffin tins.
5
Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are lightly golden around the edges and a wooden pick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
6
While the muffins are baking, prepare the lemon glaze by stirring the sugar into the lemon juice until all the sugar crystals are completely dissolved; stir in the lemon zest.
7
Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove them from the muffin pan and brush them generously with the lemon glaze. Allow them to sit at room temperature to cool completely and soak the lemon glaze.
