Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and baking soda until thoroughly combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the sugar and melted butter until light and creamy. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the beaten egg, then the beaten egg yolk, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon extract until the mixture is smooth. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed. (18 minutes)

09

Step

Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider making a simple glaze by whisking together powdered sugar with a tablespoon or two of lemon juice, and drizzling over the cooled muffins.
Ensure your butter is cooled slightly before adding it to the sugar to prevent cooking the egg when it's added.
To keep muffins moist, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
