How to Make Ginger Lemon Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger and the zest of 1 large lemon.
  7. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
