<\/p>\n
1 stick (8 tbsp.) butter, cut into chunks<\/p>\n
3 1\/2 C. whole milk<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 C. flour<\/p>\n
1\/4 tsp. baking powder<\/p>\n

1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/p>\n

Note: These queijadas are meant to be very sweet. If you choose to make them less sweet, you can reduce up to a C. of sugar. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray standard size muffin pans with cooking spray (enough for 30-count). Melt butter in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Add milk, stirring occasionally, until it is warm. Turn off and remove from heat. Whisk flour and baking powder in a small bowl. Set aside. In a deep mixing bowl, beat eggs for 1 minute. Slowly add sugar, 1 C. at a time. Continue beating for 1 minute after the last addition. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest. Blend. On medium speed, gradually add in 1 C. of the milk and melted butter mixture. Beat for 30 seconds. Slowly add half of the flour mixture, followed by 1 C. of the milk mixture, beating for\u00a0 30 seconds after the milk addition. Slowly add the rest of the flour, then 1\/2 of the remaining milk. Beat for 1 minute. The batter will be watery and will splash. Reduce speed to medium low, if needed. Angling a large paper plate over the bowl with help contain the splashing. Add the rest of the milk. Beat for 30 seconds. Fill muffin pans 3\/4 full. Bake for 35\u201338 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
