Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until light and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
6. Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
