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