Zest from one lemon, mayhaps the same lemon you are using to get lemon juice!
2large eggs
¼Cuppoppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter your muffin tins and lightly dust them with flour or line the tins with muffin papers.
Whisk buttermilk and lemon juice together in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, combien the dry ingredients in the recipe. In a third, large bowl add the butter, sugar, and lemon zest.
Cream together the butter and sugar using a hand mixer or a stand mixer until smooth.
Add in the eggs, one at a time. Then add ⅓ of the dry ingredients and stir together followed by ½ of the wet ingredients. Add half of the remaining dry ingredients, then the last of the wet and dry ingredients.
Add in the poppy seeds last and stir until just combined.
Fill the muffin tins about ¾ of the way full.
Bake muffins at 350 degrees for 22-24 minutes until they are cooked through.
Let the muffins cool briefly before chowing down. They are best slightly warm with a little butter.
