Cor Limey! Citrus Curd Muffins

I have been saving that appalling pun for an appropriate recipe, which seems to be some muffins that I made for breakfast this morning.

Today was my boyfriend’s family Christmas (his sister and her immediate family are abroad for Christmas), and there was a lunch party in Cheltenham to celebrate.  Due to the insanity of the cost of public transport in this country, it was considerable cheaper for us to hire a car and drive the round trip of just over 200 miles than travel by train or coach.   It is madness; surely something is very wrong here?    Ironically the major story on the evening Radio 4 news was on the success of the UN climate change talks in Cancun, how much less would we have contributed to global warming had we been travelling by public transport?

I am currently overloaded with limes, I needed to get one for recipe testing for Vanessa for her forthcoming book Prepped, and as around 30 were on offer for £1 in the market I bought in bulk. 

These muffins are zesty and refreshing, just the thing to wake you up in the morning, and to remind you of sunnier, warmer days.    I always make my muffins in a silicon tray, they never seem to stick.  If you are using a non flexible tin I would use liners as the lemon curd can be quite if it seeps out of the batter.  I usually make egg free muffins, I prefer the taste and it makes it easier to scale the amount of ingredients up or down this morning I made slightly more batter than usual to set us up for the journey.

    These sound brilliant and egg free too. I really must make some of that curd at home, I especially like the idea of doing it with lime.
