Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup very soft butter one stick
  • ¾ cups sugar
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together, set aside.
  3. Stir milk, lemon juice and zest together, set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 
  5. Add in almond extract and honey and mix until just combined.
  6. Tip: spray measuring cup with non-stick spray before measuring the honey, it will come out so much easier!
  7. Starting with the wet ingredients, alternate adding the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just barely combined at each stage.
  8. Pour evenly into muffin tins, they will be about ¾ full. Bake about 15-18 minutes, checking for doneness at 15. A toothpick should come out with a few crumbs if they are done.
