Mrs Blair's lemon tree is nearly falling over because it has so many lemons on it. Today we brainstormed things we could use the lemons for.
We thought really hard and came up with ideas and ingredient lists.
Here are some of our suggestions....
Lemon tart
Lemon cheesecake
Lemon and honey drink
Lemon muffins (Mrs Blair knows a yummy crunchy lemon muffin recipe!)
Lemon and poppy seed muffins
Pancakes with lemon syrup
Lemon ice-cream with blueberries and chocolate sauce
Lemonade
Lemon citrus slice
Lemon bread
Lemon over fish with vegetables
Berry lemon cake
Sponge cake with lemon syrup
What do you think we should make?

ReplyDeleteThis is how you make Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffins
ReplyDeleteFiled under Bakery
I love lemon poppy seed muffins. . The important things to remember with making these muffins is to make sure your baking powder is no older than 6 months (it may not work if older), and to not over-mix the batter.
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins Recipe
Print OptionsPrint
Ingredients
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder (make sure your baking powder is no older than 6 months)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
10 Tbsp unsalted butter (1 1/4 stick), softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 Tbsp lemon zest
Glaze
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
Method
1 Adjust the oven rack to the middle-lower part of the oven. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2 Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds, and salt and set aside.
3 In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together, beating until fluffy (about 2 minutes with an electric mixer). Add eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated after each one. Beat in the lemon zest.
4 Beat in one third of the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Beat in one third of the yogurt. Beat in a third more of the dry ingredients. Beat in a second third of the yogurt. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients and then the remaining yogurt. Again be careful to beat until just incorporated. Do not over beat.
5 Use a standard 12-muffin muffin pan. Coat each muffin cup lightly with olive oil, grapeseed oil, or a little melted butter using a pastry brush. Distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups. Bake until muffins are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Test with a long toothpick (we use a thin bamboo skewer) to make sure the center of the muffins are done. Set muffin pan on wire rack to cool. After 5 minutes, remove muffins from pan.
6 While the muffins are cooling, in a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice for the glaze. Add more lemon juice if necessary. While the muffins are still a bit warm, use a pastry brush to brush the glaze over each muffin. The muffins will absorb some of the glaze, so you add more glaze to each muffin if you like.
Makes 12 muffins. Best eaten fresh and warm.

this is how to make a lemon tart.
ReplyDeleteyou will need:
185g Marie or Nice biscuits, processed to fine crumbs
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
90g butter, melted
Pure icing sugar, to serve
Lemon curd
3 lemons
4 eggs
1 cup caster sugar
125g butter, chopped
Method
Lightly grease a 2cm-deep, 24cm (base) loose-based round flan pan. Combine biscuit crumbs, cinnamon, nutmeg and butter in a bowl. Press into base and sides of prepaed pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Make lemon curd: Finely grate rind of 1 lemon. Juice all lemons. Whisk eggs and sugar together in a heatproof bowl until well combined. Add lemon rind and 2/3 cup lemon juice, whisking constantly until well combined. Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not allow base to touch water). Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 20 to 25 minutes or until thick and custard-like. Do not allow to boil. Remove from heat and whisk in butter.
Pour lemon curd into chilled tart case. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Dust with icing sugar and serve.

WOW! Katarina! That was a great idea to share some recipes. The only problem is that now I am hungry. I think the muffins sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteHave fun deciding what to make Room 12.
From Anna
Thank-you the reason why i like lemon and poppy seed muffins because it reminds me of my nanny. She always makes them for me. If your hungry why not make a recipe?

ReplyDeleteHow about making some lemon honey? Room 12 could bottle it to sell. Lovely on fresh bread or scones... nom nom nom
