Gingerbread Muffins

- 1 egg
- 2 oz butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 oz molasses
- 8 oz sour cream
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/16 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder

For Lemon Glaze:
- 1/2 cup lemon juice

2) Gently fold in the molasses and sour cream until incorporated.
3) Gradually add the flour and spices, mixing until just combined.
4) Using a 4-ounce scoop, portion the batter into well-greased muffin pans. For older pans with a tarnished glaze, consider using cupcake liners for easier removal.
5) Bake for 20 minutes in a convection oven set to 325°F.
6) Prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together lemon juice and powdered sugar until fully dissolved.
7) Once the muffins have cooled slightly, brush the lemon glaze over the tops using a pastry brush.
Note: For mini muffins, adjust the baking time as needed when using a smaller scoop.
