Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup of sugar until smooth. Gradually add ¼ cup of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder, mixing until lumps disappear. Pour in 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until blended.
  3. Fill each prepared muffin cup about ¾ full with the batter, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries if desired.
