- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp xanthum gum
- 3 tbsp poppy seeds

Yield: 16
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and use a rubber spatula to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350F.
Fill each liner all the way to the top and then some. Be careful not to disrupt the batter too much when scooping. That hour of rest helped fluff up the batter for a taller rise in the oven, so we don’t want it to deflate!
Bake for 18 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool for another 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle with more poppy seeds if desired and dig in while they’re still warm!
