Place rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 400f use a muffin pan with liners or a buttered , nonstick pan.

Sift together flour , baking powder , salt and sugar in a very large bowl.

Stir gently to mix.

In another bowl , beat egg lightly just to mix.

Add butter , milk and rind.

Do not overmix.

Add liquid ingredients all at once to dry ingredients.

Fold with rubber spatula only a few seconds until dry ingredients are barely moistened.

Fill muffin forms 2 / 3 full.

Bake 20-25 minutes until golden.

Then cover with a rack , turn over pan and rack , and remove pan.
