Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

I decided to make these muffins for my beloved co-workers/guinea pigs.

Borrowed the recipe from this persons blog:

2/3 cup granulated sugar
zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick (8 Tablespoons) butter, melted

2 Tablespoons poppy seeds
1 Tablespoon sugar

For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar whisked together with 2 or 3 Tablespoons of lemon juice

Zest and Juice your lemon.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 

Put paper liners in muffin pan.  Place your muffin pan on top of a cookie sheet.

Rub together lemon zest and sugar until well combined.

Mix together dry ingredients: sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.

Then mix together wet ingredients: sour cream, eggs, vanilla, butter, lemon juice.

Combine dry and wet ingredients together.  Fold in poppyseeds.

Divide batter into 12 muffins.

Bake muffins for 18 minutes.

Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.  Then remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled make glaze (1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 Tbsp lemon juice) and drizzle on top of muffins.
