Description

Cream cheese filled muffins.

Ingredients

½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon lemon zest
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
¾ cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil bottoms only of medium muffin tins.
2. Mix together cream cheese, 1/4 cup white sugar, lemon peel, vanilla, and 1 egg with an electric mixer. Set filling aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/3 cup white sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended. Beat remaining egg, and stir in milk and oil; pour into flour mixture, and stir until moistened. Fill muffin cups about 1/2 full. Spoon 1 teaspoon filling onto batter. Top with batter to 3/4 full.
4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Don't brown these; muffins should be light in color. Roll while still hot in sifted confectioners' sugar.
