Servings: persons

3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/8 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 egg whites

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
3
Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
4
The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
5
Add egg yolks one at a time, allowing the first to blend into the butter mixture before adding the last.
6
Beat almond extract and lemon zest into the mixture.
7
Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, mixing until just combined into a batter.
8
Fold poppy seeds through the batter.
9
Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form.
10
Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks; fold into the batter.
11
Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups to about 2/3 full.
12
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 18 minutes; remove from pan and let cool on rack.
