Total Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 cup lemon curd, divided

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 350°f line 12 muffin cups with cupcake liners. put the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl and whisk lightly to aerate and combine.
• 2 mix the egg, yogurt, milk, and melted butter together in a pitcher. pour them into the dry ingredients and mix lightly, stopping as soon as everything is combined – it's essential not to overmix or you'll get dense, cakey muffins.
• 3 add 2/3 of the lemon curd in 6 or 7 dollops and quickly "marble" it lightly through the mixture (a couple of light stirs is really add that's needed). if your lemon curd is a bit stiff, just add it in little blobs.
• 4 spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, to three-quarters fill them. bake for about 30 minutes, until golden brown. transfer to a wire rack to cool. eat on the day you bake them, ideally while still slightly warm, topped with another dollop of lemon curd.
