i always think of lemon poppy seed muffins as being kinda tricky. i think because sometimes you get them and they are soooo good. and sometimes they are so lame. i think this one is pretty nice. i did go extra heavy on the lemon zest to try to make them POP and i drizzled a special lemony glaze over the top. POW.
creamed together 1 1/2 c. sugar with 2 c. soft, unsalted butter and lots of lemon zest! lets say zest from four lemons! then 4 eggs. and the dry stuff- 2 1/2 c. ap flour, 2 teas. baking powder, 1/2 teas. salt and 3 tbsp. poppy seeds.
for the first batch, i followed the damn recipe off epicurious (cause i got the app on my damn phone) and it said to bake at 400. and i was just going through the motions and burned up the whole first batch- 2 dozen muffins! bad start. i ALWAYS bake around 350-375. 400 is for roasting vegetables not baking muffins!
and lemon glaze- fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar. lots of powdered sugar. then drizzle on the top!
