Lemon poppy seed muffins [Christina Tosi] from Cherry Bombe: The Cookbook (page 218) by Kerry Diamond and Claudia Wu

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    These are definitely more work than the average muffin recipe - but they really are fantastic muffins. So lemony, so smacking good that i would make them again the next time i have a lemon-lover craving. I made a few substitutions using one quarter of a cup of plain greek yoghurt and one quarter cup buttermilk to replace the creme fraiche that i didn’t have. I bought a dozen almost past expiry lemons just for this recipe and they were extremely juicy. Still, the muffins turned out light and fluffy.

    Beautiful book... I bought it specifically for this recipe (excited to try more!) and it did not disappoint. We love lemons and have a lemon tree in our backyard, so I try a lot of lemon recipes in a variety of styles. Usually Tosi recipes are cloyingly sweet. This time I didn’t reduce the sugar, though skipped the glaze. My kids exclaimed how delicious these are immediately after I made them. I have to agree they are excellent and will definitely be added to my list of favorites.

    I agree with bwip these are the lemoniest muffins I have ever tasted. Very labour intensive for a muffin, but definitely worth the extra effort.

    Lemoniest muffins ever! How could they not be, filled with all that pure lemon? I did a double-take when I read the recipe - which included not only the zest of eight lemons, but also the supremed segments and all the juice. I wondered how cakey they could be with all that liquid in there, but they puffed up nicely. What an interesting recipe. It'd be hard to imagine a muffin with more lemon flavor than these. Very good.
