Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • ¾ cup sugar (divided)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Unsalted butter (cold, melted, and room temperature)
  • Powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • Milk or cream (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Start by making the lemon curd: In a double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and juice until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in cold butter until melted. Cool completely.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  3. In one bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat room temperature butter until creamy; then add sugars and eggs one at a time.
  4. Mix in yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and juice before gradually adding the flour mixture.
  5. Fill muffin cups halfway with batter; add lemon curd in the center and cover with more batter until three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk; drizzle over cooled muffins.
