Ingredients
 

For the Muffins

For the Lemon Glaze

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place cupcake liners into a 12-well muffin pan. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Slowly add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour in lemon juice and mix well.
  • Divide batter evenly into the muffin pan, filling 12 muffin liners all the way to the top.
  • Sprinkle top of the batter with coarse sugar.
  • Bake at 425 degrees F for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and continue baking for an additional 11-13 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a glaze. Drizzle over warm muffins.

Notes

For extra-lemony muffins, add up to 1 teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter.
