Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
In a mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar, and use a hand mixer to beat them well.
Pour in the milk, melted butter and lemon zest, and mix again.
Sift in the flour and baking powder, and use a spatula to combine all the ingredients.
Grease and flour a 12-hole muffin tin, add half a tablespoon of batter to each hole, sprinkle a little bit of flour over, then add one teaspoon of lemon curd, sprinkle more flour over, and top with the remaining batter.
Bake for 20 minutes until golden.
Squeeze the lemon juice out of the lemons used for the zest, and mix it with the sugar.
When the muffins are ready, drizzle the lemon juice mixture over as soon as they come out of the oven.
Leave to cool, then use a sharp knife to loose up the edges, then should come out easily.
Serve with extra lemon curd if you wish.

make sure the ingredients are the room temperature - this is particularly important in order to avoid the muffins cracking during baking, since the lemon curd will then leak
don't overmix the batter, the muffins will become too dense, rather than rise beautifully
add half a tablespoon of batter to each muffin tin hole, then top with one teaspoon of lemon curd, then add more batter to cover the curd well
drizzle the lemon juice and sugar mixture as soon as the muffins come out of the oven - the juice will be soaked up much better while the muffins are hot. You can then serve them with extra lemon curd if you like.
