My breakfast this week.

Lemon Muffins

˚ 1 cup shortening
˚ 1 cup sugar
˚ 4 large eggs, separated
˚ 2 cups all-purpose flour
˚ 2 teaspoons baking powder
˚ 1 teaspoon salt
˚ 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 to 4 lemons
˚ 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy;
add egg yolks, beating well. Combine flour, baking
powder, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately
with lemon juice, beating well after each addition.
End with dry ingredients. Fold stiffly beaten egg
whites into batter; stir in lemon zest. Fill greased
muffin cups about three-quarters full.
Bake lemon muffins at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes,
until done.  Makes about 15 lemon muffins.
