  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Sift together flour, baking powder,
  baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs,
  yogurt, butter, 1/4 cup sugar, honey and lemon zest. Add the flour
  mixture and fold until just combined. Spoon into buttered muffin
  tins and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. While the muffins are baking,
  mix lemon juice, 1/3 c sugar and 3 tb water. When the muffins are
  done, remove them from the oven and pierce the top of each one
  several times with a fork. Brush the syrup over the top of each
  one. Let the muffins cool in the tins for three minutes, then cool
  on a rack.

  Makes 12 muffins.
