Are these muffins supposed to be light and airy or pound-cakey? I didn't get the crunchy either.
The flavor is divine but not sure about the texture....

Mine have a more poundcake texture than light and fluffy muffin texture - I really like it, though. I've had the tops come out crunchy sometimes and moist/chewy other times. Don't know what makes the difference - I've wondered if it's a weather change, humidity, something like that. But I've loved them both ways.

that I didn't botch the recipe! My tops came out very light and the part that touched the pan came out nice and brown. I didn't get the crunch either...it will be interesting to know how they come out this winter when it isn't quite so humid.
Good stuff! I will be making them again!

Just made these. I agree, mine weren't crunchy, but that coulda been because I didn't wait for the sugar/lemon juice mixture to cool. They were yummy! I think I might add more grated lemon to the lemon/sugar mixture. Mine coulda been more lemon-y. Great recommendation!

I have been making these since Kerrie (KinOZ) posted them a long time ago and we love them. We never wait for them to cool. The girls love them and we eat them warm and usually finish all of them  lol.

double the recipe and used two whole eggs (yolks not a huge issue especially when split amongst 24 muffins!)and cooked them an extra minute or two and they came out wonderfully! I also used the zest of three lemons(remember I doubled the recipe) and think it was an improvement.
I am not a huge "lemon" person but these muffins are awesome!

I made these and they didn't quite come out like I expected. They seem thick and dense and I think I need more zest in the batter. I am disappointed because I really was craving these!

I used 1.5 times the zest called for in the recipe. These have a poundcake like texture as opposed to say a blueberry muffin.
I subsituted whole egg for the egg whites because a little bit of yolk won't bother me and preferred them that way. I wouldn't do that unless you know it won't hurt you.
