Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups baking mix
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves, crumbled

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 medium muffin cups, 2 1/2x1 1/4 inches, or grease bottoms only of cups with shortening.
  • 2
    Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients just until moistened. Divide batter evenly among cups.
  • 3
    Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve warm.

  • After filling the cups, be sure to wipe up any batter that spills onto the edge of the pan so it won't stick and burn. Bake muffins for the shortest time stated in the recipe, then check for doneness. If the muffin tops aren't golden brown or they don't spring back when touched lightly in the center, bake a minute or two longer, then check again.
  • Sprinkle tops of muffins with 1/4 cup white coarse sugar crystals before baking.
