  • In meantime, add the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, poppyseeds, lemon zest and salt in a large bowl and gently whisk together to combine.
  • In a separate smaller bowl whisk the egg, sugar and melted butter together until combined.
  • Pour the milk and egg mixtures into the dry ingredients and gently fold until combined. Do not overmix. A few lumps are ok.
