Nigella Fluffy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins - Nigella Zitronen Mohn Muffins

Hello

it's summertime and very humid and hot here the past few days. I was craving something fluffy and light ... something tart and refreshing... I flipped through my recipes and through my cupboard to see what I have... The choices seemed endless and then I found a bag of poppy seeds. They are not very popular in my family because of the tooth problem and that zombie look you get -lol but today I just ignored that fact and whipped them up anyhow...

I know Nigellas recipes work very well for me  - they are really tried and true - I cannot say that about every tv chef... I had Dori Greenspan's recipe on poppyseed lemon muffins in my hand too, but I didn't have any sour cream so i had to put her recipe aside for some other time...

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do they are featherlight and really lemony... Enjoy Alissa

ich hatte so Lust auf etwas leichtes süßes erfrischendes zitroniges... und habe mich für diese Muffins entschieden  Zitrone -Mohn Muffins habe ich lange nicht gemacht... Ich wählte zwischen Nigellas und Dorie Greenspans Rezept - beide sensationell allerdings brauch man für Dories Rezept Saure Sahne die ich nicht hatte.... und ich wollte nicht einkaufen gehen
