  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (113 grams) butter
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (2 lemons)
  • 2 cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 grams) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • additional granulated sugar, for sprinkling on muffins
  • 1 cup (113 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a muffin pan with liners or grease with butter and flour.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to cook until it turns golden brown, then pour it into a bowl to cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine lemon zest with sugar, rubbing until well mixed. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In the bowl with the cooled butter, mix in buttermilk, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Combine with the dry ingredients and fold in the poppy seeds.
  5. For optimal texture, you may cover the batter with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan, filling the liners to the top, and sprinkle with additional sugar.
  7. Bake until the muffins are lightly golden and spring back when touched, about 16-18 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transfering to a wire rack.
  8. To make the glaze, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice to achieve a thick icing. Drizzle over cooled muffins and allow to set before serving.
  9. Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze in a ziplock bag for longer storage.
