Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, take a moment to grease 12 muffin cups or line them with cheerful paper muffin liners. This will make for easy removal later!
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and baking soda. Give it a good stir to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, cream together the sugar and melted butter until it's light and fluffy. This is where the magic begins! Next, add in the lightly beaten egg, followed by the egg yolk, mixing well after each addition to create a smooth batter.
Step 4
Now, stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon peel, and lemon extract. This combination will infuse your muffins with a delightful citrusy aroma that will have everyone eager to taste!
Step 5
Gently fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until everything is moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
Step 6
Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. This allows room for them to rise beautifully in the oven.
Step 7
Bake in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and spring back when lightly pressed. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible!
Step 8
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature, and savor the delightful flavors!
