Preheat the oven: 180ºC. Grease and flour a muffin tin.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the curd with the sugar until you get a smooth cream. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Stir in the oil and vanilla essence.
Add the dry ingredients: Sift the flour and baking powder over the wet mixture. Mix with a spatula until all the ingredients are combined. If desired, add the lemon zest.
Fill the molds: Divide the batter into the molds, filling them up to 3/4 of their capacity.
Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool: Let the muffins cool in the mold for a few minutes before removing them from the molds.
Tips:
Curd: You can use natural or flavored curd.
Flour: You can replace part of the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
Toppings: Add chopped nuts, chocolate chips or fresh fruit to the batter for an extra touch of flavor.
Decoration: Once cooled, you can sprinkle the muffins with icing sugar or decorate with lemon glaze.
