Preheat oven to 350˚F and line a 6 cup muffin tin with baking liners.
Step 2
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Now add the eggs and flour and beat only until combined. Finally mix in the zest and lemon extract. Split between 6 lined large muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes. They should be golden and spring back to a light touch.
Step 3
In the last 5 minutes of baking mix together sugar and the juice of the lemon for the syrup, it will stay grainy but that's ok. Pour this evenly over the 6 muffins as soon as they are removed from the oven. Allow this to soak in for 5 minutes before removing he muffins from the tin and cooling completely.
