1. Preheat oven to 400*F. 2. Have ready 12 greased or paper-lined standard-size muffin cups. 3. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, 2 Tbsp. 4. sugar, and lemon juice until fluffy; set aside. 5. In another bowl, beat the egg lightly with a fork; add the milk, melted butter, and lemon zest. 6. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 7. Add the egg mixture just until combined; do not overmix. 8. Fill the muffin cups 1/2 full; place 1 Tbsp. 9. of the cheese mixture in the center of each cup. 10. Cover with remaining batter; bake for 20 minutes, until tops are lightly golden and a toothpick tests out clean. 11. Cool 5 minutes in the tins before inverting onto wire racks. 12. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a lemon glaze, if desired; serve warm or cool. 13. Store covered in the refrigerator; bring to room temperature before serving. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
