Every time the calendar rolls around to Bleak Mid Winter I start to crave everything lemon. Beach Street Lemon Chicken, Luscious Lemon Pie and Blackberry Cashew Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette...to name just a few. Lemon is one of my very favorite flavors and when the weather is drab and dreary, I can't seem to get enough of its sunny disposition.
In an effort to "bring on the lemon" I tweaked my recipe for Poppyseed Bread to make these yummy muffins. They are packed with lemon flavor! When they were warm from the oven I dipped the tops into a heavenly lemon sugar glaze. It was the right thing to do, friends. They turned out wonderfully well. I hope some of you have a chance to try them!
