1

Heat oven to 425°F. Line 15 standard-size muffin cups with paper baking cups. In medium bowl, stir muffin mix, milk, oil and eggs with spoon just until blended (batter may be lumpy).
2

Spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into each muffin cup. Place about 1 teaspoon lemon curd on batter in each cup. Top with remaining batter, dividing evenly among cups.
3

Bake 14 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan.
4

Squeeze Glaze packet from muffin mix about 10 seconds (do not microwave). With scissors, cut off tip of 1 corner of packet. Drizzle glaze over warm muffins. Serve warm or cool.

Lemon curd is a thick pudding-like product usually found alongside the jams and jellies in the supermarket. Lemon pie filling can be used instead of the lemon curd.
