- In a bowl sift together the self-raising flour, baking powder and caster sugar. Mix through the poppy seeds.

Top tips for making lemon poppy seed muffins
You could swap the lemon curd for orange marmalade instead to make orange flavoured muffins. You could also try lime curd or strawberry jam too for fruiter options.
