Lime Poppy Seed Bread Muffins Food

POPPY SEED MUFFINS

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs, 2 1/2 cups white sugar and vegetable oil. Add in milk, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, vanilla, almond flavoring, and flour. Mix well.
• Bake in paper lined muffin cups (filled 3/4 full or 3 small greased loaf pans) at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes for muffins and 50-60 minutes for loaves. The tops should be browned and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
• Remove muffins as soon as you can while still warm/hot and dunk tops into glaze. Turn right side up and cool on a cookie rack. With loaves just pour the glaze evenly over the three loaves while still in pans. Let cool to a warm temp. and remove from pans. Yes, it is a little messy but it is really good.
• To Make Glaze: In a saucepan over low heat, combine 3/4 cup sugar, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring and 2 teaspoons melted butter. Warm in pan until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over loaf pans or dunk muffin tops into glaze when cooled to room temperature. (Omit the glaze altogether if you don't like the mess.)

LEMON POPPY SEED MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare muffin tins with 18 paper liners (this recipe makes about 18 to 20 muffins).
• Add the all purpose flour to a large bowl and whisk together with the sugar, baking soda, salt and poppy seeds.
• In a large liquid measuring cup, measure the milk and the oil.
• Add the sour cream and eggs, along with the lemon zest and juice, and whisk all the wet ingredients together well.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
• Divide the batter between the 18 or 20 prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full with the batter.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-24 minutes or until the muffins are a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.
• Let the muffins cool in their tins until almost completely cooled.
• Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice (add a few more drops of lemon juice, if necessary) to form a glaze.
• Brush the glaze onto the tops of the muffins and let the glaze set fora few minutes before serving.

LEMON POPPY SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
• Whisk the flour, poppy seeds, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and granulated sugar together until combined. Whisk in the oil, sour cream, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then whisk to completely combine. Avoid over-mixing; a few small lumps are OK.
• Pour/spread the batter evenly into prepared loaf pan. Bake the bread for 50 minutes to 1 hour, covering loosely with foil about halfway through to help the loaf bake evenly. Poke the center of the bread with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. Oven times will vary between ovens. My bread usually takes 55 minutes.
• Cool bread completely in the pan set on a wire rack. *Feel free to drizzle with glaze (next step) while the bread is still warm. The glaze seeps down into the warm bread this way, adding extra moisture.*
• *This doesn't yield a lot of glaze- just a light layer. Feel free to double the glaze if you want more.* Whisk the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together. Drizzle over bread while it's still warm in the loaf pan or after it cools.
• Slice and serve. Cover and store leftover plain or glazed bread at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
