Why, certainly not! In fact, just tonight, I made some lemon poppy-seed muffins...
Yeah, I did it in my dorm room on my desk. I don't recommend it, I have to bend down for long periods of time to do it, there's no good place to put dirty utensils, but it beats going down 5 floors and then forgetting something up top... Flour, sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds, and salt in a bowl.
I also don't own a zester. I peeled off tiny bits of lemon skin with a paring knife, then minced it up best I could with my chef knife. I got a tablespoon out of it before I gave up.
Added lemon peel, vanilla extract, soymilk, lemon juice, and oil.
I've always wondered why instructions say to leave a well in the middle, because the ingredients always seems to overflow out of it...
The batter, all mixed up. It was fluffier and less drippy than most muffin batters. Also, it tastes really, really good...
Muffins! They came out kinda flat and ugly, but they taste really, really good.
