Directions

Getting Ready

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Either line a muffin tin with paper liners or butter the bottoms and sides generously.

Making

For the muffins

In a large bowl, whisk to combine flour, sugar, poppy seeds, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and egg, and whisk vigorously for 60 seconds until aerated and thick. 

Whisk in the sour cream, milk, lemon juice and vanilla until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, then stir gently with a spatula. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.

Evenly divide the muffin batter into the wells. (Use cookie scoops to get the perfect amount of batter for 1 large scoop in each plus 1 medium scoop.)

Bake the muffins for 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.

Once done, let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove them and let cool completely on a wire rack.

For the raspberry butter by placing 

Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mashtogether with a spoon. 

Serving

Spread the muffins with the raspberry butter as you eat.
