You may have seen a week or so ago that I post Salted Caramel Muffins from Food Network Magazine’s recent 50 muffins. Again, I bring you one of their muffins. The Ginger Lemon Muffin. The combination sounded delightful and did not disappoint. The only thing I changed was the ginger. Because I didn’t have ground ginger on hand I used fresh ginger that was peeled and grated. It worked great and tasted wonderfully. Overall, these muffins were very simple to make and the addition of the lemon was just as simple and the perfect companion to the ginger!
