Lemon Poppy Muffins

Nothing is better than something fresh from the oven. I like to spoil my son with made from scratch yummies. Well I crave sweet things from time to time. It helps that I don't keep them in the house to make it a habit to always want them.

To satisfy that occasional sweet tooth kick, I bake muffins or homemade cookies. Well I was craving lemon poppy muffins and searched the net and this is what I found.




Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
2 cups flour
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 cup Butter -- softened
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 Eggs
1/4 tsp. Baking powder
1 cup Buttermilk
4 tsp. Poppy seeds
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. lemon rind or lemon juice


Preheat oven to 400. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds and lemon rind/juice. In a large mixer bowl, beat sugar and butter until fluffy; beat in eggs until smooth. Add buttermilk and vanilla; mix well. Stir in flour mixture JUST until moistened. Fill paper cup-lined or greased muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 12 to 15 muffins.


If you don't have buttermilk here's what you do. Take the measuring cup that you need milk and white vingar. Pour the milk till it's a little over half of the measurement you need. Then pour the vingar in the milk till you have the required amount needed for the recipe.


Bon appetit!
