Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Jug
  • Muffin Tray
  • Papper muffin cases
  • Lemon citrus squeezer
  • Citrus squeezer
  • Tea Spoon
  • Table Spoon

Ingredients
 
 

  • 150 g Gluten-free self-raising flour
  • 100 g Brown sugar
  • 50 g Sultanas
  • 1 tsp Gluten-free baking powder
  • 1 Large egg
  • 120 ml Vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp Icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with pretty muffin wrappers.
  • Grate the lemons to get the zest and squeeze the juice, making sure to remove any seeds. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is essential for the best flavour.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil and lemon juice together.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum (if using). Add the lemon zest and sultanas to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. You can fill them about two-thirds full.
  • Bake the muffins for about 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the icing sugar and lemon juice until smooth. You can adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or lemon juice.
  • Once the muffins are completely cool, drizzle them with the lemon drizzle. You can also sprinkle a bit of extra lemon zest on top for added flair.
