Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a large 12-hole muffin pan with paper cups.

Crumb Topping

  1. In a bowl, combine crumb topping ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and butter. Stir together with a fork and set aside.

Calamansi Muffins

  1. In a bowl, beat eggs using an electric mixer for about 1-2 minutes until thick and frothy. 
  2. Add sugar and oil and continue to beat for about 1 to 2 minutes or until creamy. 
  3. Add calamansi zest, juice, baking soda, and salt. Beat for about 1 minute. 
  4. Add sour cream and beat until combined.
  5. Add flour and using a spoon, stir just until combined. The batter will still be slightly lumpy.
  6. Using a scoop, fill muffin cups up to ¾ full. Sprinkle the crumb topping mixture on top.
  7. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of muffin comes out clean. Let cool for about 3 to 5 minutes and then transfer to a rack to completely cool.

Calamansi Glaze

  1. In a bowl, combine ingredients for calamansi glaze: powdered sugar and calamansi juice. Stir well until smooth.
  2. Drizzle over muffins.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter as this can toughen and create tunnels and holes in the muffins. Use a spoon or spatula to incorporate the flour and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.  The final batter should be thick, lumpy, and floury.
