Ingredients
Scale
Muffin
2/3 cup sugar
1 lemon, zest and juice
2 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
3/4 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line 12 muffins tins with paper liners.
- Mix sugar and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Rub them together between your palms until the sugar is coated in the oil from the lemon zest. Add the flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Mix together.
- Whisk together sour cream, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, and melted butter until smooth. Make a well in the dry ingredients, add the wet, and use a rubber spatula to fold it together just until it comes together. Do not overmix or you will end up with dry, rubbery muffins.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin tins and bake for 16-18 minutes, just until the tops are set and bounce back when lightly touched.
- Prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk until smooth. Dip tops of hot muffins into the glaze, then set aside to cool completely before serving. Muffins store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
