Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar divided
- zest of 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. (Alternately, you can spray the cups with nonstick cooking spray.)
- Place 1 cup of sugar and the lemon zest in a large bowl. With your fingers, rub the sugar and zest together until the sugar is moist and fragrant.
- Add the butter to the bowl and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the ricotta, followed by the egg, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to the bowl. Stir until blended - the batter will be thick.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven until they are golden and cooked through, 18-20 minutes.
- Cool slightly before serving.
