Ingredients

Dry mix:

  • 1 ½ cups wheat flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon black poppy seeds
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Wet mix:

  • 4 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 no egg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 190 deg C for 10 minutes.
  • Take a mixing bowl - add wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add sugar to it.
  • Add black poppy seeds, mix well and set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl - add an egg whisk until pale. Add curd.
  • Add lemon juice. Whisk once.
  • Add melted butter, mix it. Add flour mixture.
  • Add lemon zest. Mix with a spatula.
  • Using an ice cream scooper scoop out the batter.
  • Arrange muffin liners in muffin mould. Drop the scooped batter into the liners, sprinkle sugar on top.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 190 deg C for 25-30 minutes or until the top turns golden and crusty.
  • Serve Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins warm!

Notes

  • Mixing – I always mix dry and wet separate, then combine gently with spatula. Over mixing makes muffin tough and dense, mixing gentle help it stay fluffy.
  • Oven temperature – I preheat oven well before starting to bake, make sure it is hot enough. This helps muffin bake even and top get golden.
  • Sugar on top – I sprinkle good amount of sugar, this creates crusty sweet topping that makes it taste better.
  • Lemon flavour – I use fresh lemon juice and zest together, it gives best taste without bitterness. 
  • Filling even – I use ice cream scooper to scoop batter so all muffins fill even and gets baked at the same time. This way they all come out with same golden colour and texture.
  • Check if done – I poke toothpick in centre of muffin and if it comes out clean, it is ready. Top should look golden and crusty when done baking, inside still soft and warm.
