  2. In a large bowl, rub together lemon zest and sugar until zest has released some of its oils and aromatics. Set aside.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, an salt; set aside.

  4. Add melted butter to bowl with sugar and zest and whisk 1 minute. Add egg and whisk until well combined. Stir in milk. Add dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in lemon juice.

  5. Fill each mini muffin cup 3/4 full with batter. Place one raspberry, open side down, in center of each cup. Bake until golden and a cake tester inserted into a muffin comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes then release from pan.
