First thing you do is preheat your oven to 180 C/350 F. I have a fan oven so cooking times may change slighlty.
Add 1 tbsp flax to a small bowl plus the water and pop in the fridge for a few minutes.
Measure out the milk, then add 1 tbsp lemon juice. This will curdle it, and leave it to one side while you prep the rest of your ingredients.
Get a large mixing bowl. Add in your flour, sugar, baking soda, xanthum gum, baking powder, lemon zest and salt. Ensure you spend time whisking all the dry ingredients together in order to disperse your leveners evenly.
Once the milk has curdled and the flax has set a little its time to get mixing.
Add the milk, oil and flax to the dry ingredients. Mix well by hand with a wooden spoon. You should have a nice thick, but runny batter. See images below.
Line a muffin tin with cup cake holders. Using a ice cream scoop, pour mixture into all 12 cupcake holders. I recommend going 3/4 of the way up and leaving room for your batter to rise.
Place in the middle shelf of the oven, and cook for 18 to 20 minutes. Do the toothpick test to ensure batter is cooked.
