YUM! I think most people consider lemon a springtime flavor. But, what a way to brighten mid-winter blues! I cored my cupcakes and filled them with homemade lemon curd. Sooo good!!<\/p>","CommentId":2,"DateRated":"02\/20\/2017 15:41","GUID":"54FAD127A9EA4AFA8CE25524E2E774CA","MemberId":6736080,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"suefalk","SubmittedDate":"02\/20\/2017 15:41"},{"Comment":"

This is the first muffin recipe I have tried and I'm very satisfied. I used orange instead of lemon. Texture is smooth and taste is delicous.

These would be good of you hollowed out a small portion and filled with lemon curd before the meringue. The lemon curd would be that tartness the cupcakes don't have.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"05\/31\/2014 15:08","GUID":"eb8f7f893bd54c2a9734bd7ba372e7ae","MemberId":5583177,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"inkwell35","SubmittedDate":"05\/31\/2014 15:07"},{"Comment":"
These muffins are so good. The meringue was easy too. I put the meringue in a plastic bag and cut a small hole at bottom corner. Easy breezy. My granddaughter said the only thing that would make these better was if there was a filling. I'm working on that.. I also brought them to a dinner with friends. They look beautiful.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"","GUID":"8c82a83389e74a509546a9dde514dbd1","MemberId":7472199,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"EjCoz","SubmittedDate":"04\/05\/2014 09:51"},{"Comment":"

This was a great recipe. My husband loves lemon meringue pie and he thought these were a close second. The meringue did not weep, although I just made them a few hours ago.

I thought these were really good. I used limes instead of lemons, because that's what I had on hand, and wow! So tasty!

Delicious! Thanks so much for sharing. I love using yogurt in recipes it makes them so moist!

laino, you can review without rating. and was there a point to that other than to complain about an issue that didn't really exist?<\/p>
also, my sister made these for a part. didn't turn out so great, but i think it's just because it's her. :( she doesn't have much experience outside of hamburger helper & tollhouse break apart & bake cookies. i'll try these soon & report back. they look delicious!<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"03\/30\/2011 00:48","GUID":"bdd247d9dce04c34809baa26959ae6be","MemberId":4644582,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"finalboss","SubmittedDate":"03\/30\/2011 00:48"},{"Comment":"
I do not understand why TOH incorporates ratings, especially 5-star ones, from bakers who have not tried the recipe.

I think the meringue topping makes for nice presentation if bringing these to a potluck, but these probably should be eaten the day they're made. I think the \"weeping\" might make the cupcake a tad soggy. I also think the recipe might lend itself nicely to orange or key lime flavored muffins!<\/p>","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"03\/29\/2011 11:45","GUID":"04aa134032f74754bbffa2a0c6ce235b","MemberId":5472315,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"minniecat38","SubmittedDate":"03\/29\/2011 11:45"},{"Comment":"
I think it sounds like a great recipe. In my experience with meringue, this would be a make and eat the same day. I have a recipe for sugar free (diabetics in the family) meringue cookies and they become very sticky like melted marshmallows when stored in an air tight container overnight. Fresh out the oven, they are light and fluffy just like regular meringue.<\/p>","CommentId":24,"DateRated":"03\/29\/2011 11:19","GUID":"6167b6563b5f4c1994dfac6be5688b51","MemberId":4331321,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"dloan","SubmittedDate":"03\/29\/2011 11:19"},{"Comment":"
I'm wondering how the meringue would keep? How long can the muffins keep before the meringue starts to weep? It's not like the meringue is going to dry out in the oven; it will still be moist on the inside. Wonder if the meringue would seep into the muffin? Hmmm, any guesses?<\/p>","CommentId":25,"DateRated":"03\/29\/2011 10:49","GUID":"71d30c9f83c24bc4be4e6d3eba191d0c","MemberId":5009498,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"sherry_vinigrette","SubmittedDate":"03\/29\/2011 10:49"},{"Comment":"
