Ingredients:
| 7.9 ounces | all-purpose flour (1 3/4 cups) | 
| 3/4 cup | granulated sugar | 
| 2 1/2 teaspoons | baking powder | 
| 1/4 teaspoon | salt | 
| 3/4 cup | part-skim ricotta cheese | 
| 1/2 cup | water | 
| 1/4 cup | olive oil | 
| 1 tablespoon | grated lemon rind | 
| 2 tablespoons | fresh lemon juice | 
| 1 | large egg, lightly beaten | 
| cooking spray | |
| 2 tablespoons | turbinado sugar | 
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients (through salt); make a well in center. Combine ricotta and next 5 ingredients (through egg). Add ricotta mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
3. Place 12 muffin-cup liners in muffin cups; coat with cooking spray. Divide batter among muffin cups. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over batter. Bake at 375° for 16 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in pan on a wire rack.
