Babs Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

These muffins are always gobbled up at the B & B where I work. Customers always ask for the recipe.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.

Step: 2

Stir flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.

Cream the sugar and butter together in a large bowl. Add the whole egg, then the egg yolk, allowing each to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next.

Stir sour cream, vanilla, lemon peel, and lemon extract into the sugar mixture until well combined. Add flour mixture to sour cream mixture and stir until just moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks.

The best flavour of the flour could make a real deal to your bread. Different brands do vary. Great taste or Canadian flours, which are naturally higher in gluten, may give you a better rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re making wholemeal dough , which doesn’t always rise as well as white bread.

To make this in a dough , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A bread first rising can be done in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great limit , as you can work it night before , then clear it off the next day.
