Instructions
Step one: Get started by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Then lin a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step two: Now shift or whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt than salt aside.
Step three: Now to move on to your wet ingredients. Cream together softened butter, sugar, and lemon zest. I used my electric mixer to cream together these ingredients. Once light and fluffy add in egg one at a time. And last you want to add in the lemon juice.
Step four: Next you just want to use a spoon to fold in the poppy seeds.
Step five: Mix in dry ingredients with the wet while rotating in buttermilk. Mixing a small amount of dry ingredients and into the wet then a small about of buttermilk. Going back and forth until all ingredients are mixed together well.

FAQ and Tips:
Can I use milk and not buttermilks? Yes, you can change out the buttermilk for regular milk.
Can I add a glaze? Yes, you can easily add a glaze to these muffins when they are done. When making a glaze I like to mix 1 - 1 ½ cup of powder sugar along with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Storing Tips: You can leave these muffins on the countertop for 1-2 days. You can also place them in a large freezer bag and freeze them for up to 2 months. When you are ready to eat you can reheat them in the microwave.
