Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

This is a good recipe - not too lemony. I would recommend adding more lemon zest or lemon juice to enhance the flavor, if you want.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, at room temp
1 tsp lemon zest
2/3 c sugar
2 eggs, at room temp
4 tsp poppy seeds
1/2 c milk

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
With mixer cream butter, zest, and 2/3 cup sugar; about 2 minutes.
Add eggs. Stir in seeds.
Fold in flour in 3 parts, alternate with milk in 2 parts. Mix until just combined.
Bake for 25 minutes.

Here's a basic topping for them -
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 cup cream
1/2 tsp vanilla

Melt butter and sugar together. Add cream and vanilla.
Spoon over warm muffins.

*Some things to add more lemon flavor are to use 1/2 cup lemon yogurt instead of milk and to add lemon juice or extract.
