Can I use oil instead of margarine?
and what can I use if I dont have Lemon Extract?
It looks as if you could substitute the margarine for the oil. You can use some lemon juice instead
In step 4, what does it mean when it says add the topping?
i was confused by this wording as well. leah means to add the whipped topping... hope that answers your question.
Ahhhh I see, thank you!
They were absolutely delicious! I used orange extract as didn’t have lemon. I think I need to tweak the consistency of the crumb topping though, as it didn’t sink so well into the muffin, but still looked and tasted amazing. I also skipped the glaze.
