  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Oven
  2. 2

    Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cold butter.

  3. 3

    Sift the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, lemon zest, lemon extract, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil, lemon yogurt, and egg together.

  5. 5

    Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in three steps. Take care not to over-mix the batter.

  6. 6

    Divide the batter between the muffin cups.

    Bake for 16 minutes, or until golden brown. Muffins should be springy to the touch and a toothpick stuck in will come out clean.

    Oven

    While muffins are baking, prepare the glaze: Stir confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice until smooth.

  9. 9

    Drizzle muffins with glaze.
