Tasty Tuesday ~ Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

I know I have been slacking off posting recipes on here, mostly because I keep forgetting to take photos of the food before we eat it! When I am rushing around trying to get dinner done, I don't think "Hmmm, let me grab the camera."

I got this recipe from another favorite cookbook - Southern Living. This was my first attempt at these and despite overcooking them just a tad, they were great!

LEMON POPPY SEED MUFFINS

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups of flour (I always buy bread flour)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1 Tbsp. lemon zest
1 cup sour cream (I never use anything but reduced fat)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 vanilla extract

How to Make It:
1) Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, and make a well in the center of mixture. Combine sour cream and next 3 ingredients; add to dry mixture, stirring just until moistened.
2) Spoon batter into greased muffins pans, filling two-thirds full.
3) Bake at 400 degrees for 17-18 minutes or lightly browned. Remove from pans immediately, and cool on wire on racks.
4) Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Drizzle glaze over muffins and let glaze set.

Yield: 1 dozen
