RK loves lemon flavor a lot... When we have
kebabs or starter they present the dish with a slice of lemon... And he keeps
licking it often… I was not a big fan of lemons, but after tasting those lemon
biscuits from Crabtree and Evelyn ... I felt a lot, how I missed this awesome
lemony flavor... Then my craziness to lemons started...
But now that thought has vanished and the muffins
were so fluffy and yummy without the smell of eggs... I got these chives for
making savory biscuits and finally ended up in muffins... Chive has a slight
onion flavor and the combination of lemon and chive, works out so well and
everyone in my family liked it... First I tried a very small quantity but later
I worried...I couldn't resist to taste it.. So grabbed one before taking a
shot...
Ingredients:
All purpose flour - 1 cup
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Baking powder - 1&1/2 tsp
Pepper - 1/2 tsp(freshly ground)

Notes:
If you don't want to use egg you can replace with 1 egg = 2 Tbsp. potato starch or 1 egg = puree 1/4 cup soft tofu.You can replace Chive with onions or Green onion(Scallions) and leek.
Do don't over mix the mixture,this may turn out the muffins hard.You can also add in some chopped walnuts it enhances the taste.
Store the muffin have the next day and can be edible within 3 days when refrigerated.
