Experiment Success

   We had company come to town last night and I really wanted to make her a treat. I also wanted to experiment with a good muffin recipe for the summer, something that would sell well at the farmer's market. I decided to play with my blueberry muffin recipe and tweak it for lemon poppyseed bread/muffins.
   Even though I doubled my ingredients, it still only made enough for 6 jumbo muffins. I would probably have to quadrouple it for market day. I was "winging it" as they say when it came to the amount of lemon zest and poppyseeds. I loosely followed a recommendation from a scone recipe I found. Flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, vanilla, pinch of salt and butter. The key ingredient is sour cream, surprisingly. It keeps the muffins nice and moist inside. Great muffins should be a little sticky on top when they're done.
   I was so pleased with the way they came out, I sent four in a bakery box as a gift with my friend to take to her mom in South Florida. I consider it my first out of town delivery :) Lemon poppyseed will now be added to the menu for market day!

  1. Jen - I love your blog. Whitney is always worried that no one reads hers, so I have decided to comment every time a read a blog, so you authors know that somebody is out there enjoying your thoughts! These muffins look amazing! It is my favorite flavor. So, since I can't make it to the market on Saturday, would you share your recipe with me? Take care and good luck at the market!
