Instructions
Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease twelve muffin wells or line with paper liners.
- In a small bowl, combine milk and lemon juice to make soured milk. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Use a spoon to form a well in the center of the bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl combine the soured milk, oil, eggs, lemon zest, and almond extract. Mix well.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Divide batter between 12 muffin wells, filling about ⅔ full.
- Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and place on cooling rack until completely cool. Prepare glaze.
Glaze
- In a small bowl stir together powdered sugar and lemon juice, adding additional lemon juice ½ teaspoon at a time if necessary. The glaze should be thick but easy to pour.
- Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins
Notes
- Keep muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days with a slice of bread to absorb excess moisture.
