Also wonderful on hot pancakes, rub into peaches before grilling, add a tsp. to hot chocolate, sprinkle over cakes or muffins before baking.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 180 C degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners .

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon.

In a separate large bowl, use your fingers to rub together the sugar until the sugar is moistened . Add the eggs, milk and lemon extract and gently whisk together until blended. Add the melted butter and whisk until thoroughly combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together with a rubber spatula. Add the diced strawberries and fold in, just until distributed.

Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin cups. Sprinkle spicy sprinkle on top of each, then bake for 15-18 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed with your finger.

Serve with lemon curd; just as delicious when served plain.
