Ever since my other half made some amazing lemon curd, we have been looking for lemon curd recipes. This one, by River Café chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, is scrummy. There is only one problem: as the recipe involves yogurt, the muffins must ALL be eaten on the day they are made. Tough work! 
Makes 12
225g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
A good pinch of sea salt
100g caster sugar
1 medium egg
125g plain yogurt
125ml whole milk 
75g unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled 
150g lemon curd
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/gas4. 
Put 12 large paper cases into a muffin tray.
Put the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large bowl. Whisk lightly to aerate and combine. 
Mix the egg, yogurt, milk and melted butter together in a jug. Pour them into the dry ingredients and mix lightly. Stop mixing as soon as everything is combined, it’s essential not to over-mix muffin batter or the result is dense muffins. 
Spoon some of the mixture into each muffin case. 
Top each with a generous ½ teaspoonful of lemon curd. Top with another spoonful of muffin mixture, ensuring the lemon curd is sealed in and the muffin case is ¾ full.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown. 
Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Ideally, eat while still warm.
