Small Batch Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

 

I've noticed there's been a trend lately in small batch baking.  I, for one, definitely welcome this because as someone who lives by myself I just don't need a dozen of this or that.  Normally I would just give my bakes away to family and friends, and I'll still do that, but with small batch bakes I don't have to!

This recipe for Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins from Hummingbird High caught my attention because of their exceptionally tall tops, just like ones you'd find at a bakery à la Levain.  Remember that Seinfeld episode where Elaine was obsessed with just the muffin tops?  That's what these muffins reminded me of!  You can bet that Elaine would be coveting these beauties.

You get four very generously sized muffins with this recipe which was the perfect amount for me to test and also enjoy.   One thing I noticed right off the bat was the intense, but not overpowering, lemon flavor in the muffin.  This comes from rubbing the fresh lemon zest with the granulated sugar, as well as the addition of fresh lemon juice and lemon oil.  The key to getting that beautiful rise on the muffins is to make sure your ingredients are at room temperature so that the batter is well mixed.  

As soon as the muffins came out of the oven I had to have a taste and I was definitely not disappointed.  They were delicious, moist, fluffy and above all, not too sweet!  I highly recommend giving this recipe a try.

    जैसा कि हमने ब्लॉग के शुरुआत में ही बताया है, अब मोबाइल की पहुंच गांवो तक है। लेकिन ग्रामीण क्षेत्र (Rural Area) में मोबाइल की भूमिका सिर्फ मनोरंजन तक ही सीमित है।निटर ऐप का एक ही उद्देश्य है, हर ग्रामवासी जागरूक बनें और अपने अधिकारों को जानें। यदि सभी ग्रामवासी निटर ऐप उपयोग करेंगे तो गांव से जुड़ी किसी भी जानकारी के लिए, कहीं सर्च करने, दूसरे ऐप की ज़रूरत बिल्कुल नहीं पड़ेगी। निटर ऐप ग्रामवासियों को घर बैठे, गांव से जुड़ी हरेक जानकारियां उपलब्ध कराती है। जैसे-
