How the cooking goes

Make the Muffins

1. In a small bowl combine lemon zest and sugar. Allow to sit. The longer it sits, the more flavorful the muffins will be.
2. Heat the oven to 350°F and spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
3. In the bowl of a electric mixer cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add eggs one at a time, beating between each addition to incorporate. Scrape down bowl as necessary.
4. Meanwhile whisk together the sour cream and lemon juice in one bowl, then then in a separate bowl combine flour, soda, powder, salt and poppyseeds, whisking to distribute.
5. Put the sour cream mixture to the electric mixer and beat to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix just to combine.
6. Immediately scoop into prepared tins, sprinkle with turbinado sugar (optional) then bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.

Make the Glaze

1. In a medium bowl combine sugar and lemon juice. Adding lemon juice slowly, while whisking, until glaze reaches a consistency where it is just thin enough to run off the edge of your whisk.
2. Glaze muffins while still hot for a thinner coating or when cooled completely for a thick glaze situation.

After it comes off the heat

Let the pan settle before you slice, so the crumb stays together. Cover leftovers once they are cool.
