• portions: 24 servings

• temps total: 55 minutes

Ingrédients

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons poppy seeds

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 1/2 cups plain yogurt (see note 1)

2 eggs

1 tablespoon lemon zest (see note 2)

8 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions

To make the muffins:

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and coat with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a second bowl, whisk together yogurt, eggs, and lemon zest. Fold yogurt mixture into flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Carefully fold in melted butter.

Using a greased 1/3-cup dry measuring cup, divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Bake until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean with a few crumbs attached, about 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate muffin tin halfway through.

Let muffins cool in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and brush with glaze (instructions follow).

To make the glaze:

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and lemon juice. Cook until thickened and syrupy, about 3 minutes. Brush warm syrup on slightly cooled muffins. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
