How to Make Them
1️⃣ Prep & Preheat
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use liners.

Stir in milk, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and salt.
Gently fold in flour until just combined.
3️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (⅔ full).
Bake 20–25 minutes until golden and set (toothpick should come out clean).
4️⃣ Cool & Shine
Let rest 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Dust with powdered sugar or add toppings while warm.
