Cooking instructions
Procedure
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Procedure
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cold butter.
Procedure
Sift the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, lemon zest, lemon extract, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.
Procedure
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil, lemon yogurt, and egg together.
Procedure
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in three steps. Take care not to over-mix the batter.
Procedure
Divide the batter between the muffin cups.
Procedure
Bake for 16 minutes, or until golden brown. Muffins should be springy to the touch and a toothpick stuck in will come out clean.
Procedure
While muffins are baking, prepare the glaze: Stir confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice until smooth.
Procedure
Drizzle muffins with glaze.
Procedure
Let cool on rack for 10 minutes and remove from muffin tin.
Notes, tips, and variations

Read it through first
Skim all 12 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.
Scale it
Use the quantities listed in the original recipe. Adjust them manually if making a different batch size.
Storage
Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheating
Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
