Grapefruit Muffins
Description
Homemade treats for tea. If you used to eat grapefruit only for breakfast, especially if you're watching your figure or health, now you can use it in baking. Add grapefruit juice and zest to the batter, then make a sugar crumb topping with zest and sprinkle it over the unbaked muffins. The result is aromatic muffins with a subtle citrus flavor. Serve with tea or coffee.
