This super easy lemon muffin recipe is from an old family cookbook. I think it's fun when you check out recipes in old cookbooks. The ingredients and preparation methods are often different than how we do things today.
I could've tried to modernize the recipe but why? I enjoy making recipes from way back. Old recipes don't always turn out and sometimes even taste yucky by today's standards.
These lemon muffins turned out really good. These muffins have the consistency of cornbread with a nice lemon flavor. So if you are expecting a moist muffin, you may want to pass on this recipe.
