Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Gently fold in the poppy seeds.
4
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
5
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6
While muffins cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins just before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use bottled lemon juice?

While fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor, you can use bottled lemon juice in a pinch. However, the zest is crucial for that bright lemon aroma.

How do I store leftover muffins?

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.

Why are my muffins tough?

Muffins can become tough if the batter is overmixed. Mix until just combined, even if there are a few lumps, to ensure a tender crumb.
