Ingredients

15 ml lemon juice

240 ml milk

300 g white sugar

115 g butter, at room temperature

4 large eggs

10 ml lemon extract

2.5 ml lemon zest

225 g chopped fresh strawberries

360 g all-purpose flour

5 ml baking powder

2.5 ml baking soda

2.5 ml salt

115 g miniature semisweet chocolate chips

12 slices fresh strawberry

15 ml white sugar

Directions

Step 1

Combine lemon juice with enough milk to make 240 ml; let the soured milk stand for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line 24 muffin tins with paper liners.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat together 300 g sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add lemon extract. Gradually stir in the soured milk and lemon zest, then gently fold in the chopped strawberries.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full. Place a slice of strawberry on top of each muffin and sprinkle the tops with 15 ml sugar.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pans for 5 minutes before serving warm.
