Beginner Baking 7

I wasn't going to bother blogging about these lemon muffins. Another Alison Holst recipe, they're not really all that exciting though they are nice for a little snack.

But then I was doing too many other things and let them overcook and I couldn't get them out of the tray to cool afterwards. Necessity is the mother of invention and so J invented his Patented Muffin Extractor Tool.

Carefully constructed from an old sour cream tub, the Tool has just the right curve for slipping down the edge of each stuck muffin. And the flexibility to slide underneath said muffin and ease it off the tray. Perfect! The muffins came away more or less intact and my coffee group was fed once more.
