Exactly what measurement of poppy seeds do you need to put into muffins?

Question

.....to make them like special brownies?

Answer 1

if you take hawaiian baby woodrose seeds and soak them in a jar of ethyl alcohol until you see mold forming on the top then drain the seeds, saving the alcohol, and transferring the seeds to a jar of petroleum ether and soak them in the same manner. then throw away the seeds. take wax paper and put in a cookie sheet. then pour the ether and alcohol mixture on top of the wax paper, making sure there is proper ventilllation in your house or you are going to explode with every thing else. allow mixture to dry. cut wax paper into very small squares. enjoy. it is the poor man's LSD

Answer 2

Let's say you are making a recipe for 8 muffins-I would add approximately 1/4 cup. Bottom line is you need to taste and adjust. If you put poppy seeds in, this makes the muffins heavier and more dense. At this point-I would add extra baking powder
to ensure you get the leavening that you need to make a good muffin. I would add another teaspoon to the batter.

When you are finished, make a nice loose glaze to pour on the top of the muffins.

DIRECTIONS

1. Beat together the eggs, 2 1/2 cups white sugar and vegetable oil. Add in milk, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, vanilla, almond flavoring, and flour. Mix well.
2. Bake in paper lined muffin cups (filled 3/4 full or 3 small greased loaf pans) at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes for muffins and 50-60 minutes for loaves. The tops should be browned and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
3. Remove muffins as soon as you can while still warm/hot and dunk tops into glaze. Turn right side up and cool on a cookie rack. With loaves just pour the glaze evenly over the three loaves while still in pans. Let cool to a warm temp. and remove from pans. Yes, it is a little messy but it is really good.
4. To Make Glaze: In a saucepan over low heat, combine 3/4 cup sugar, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring and 2 teaspoons melted butter. Warm in pan until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over loaf pans or dunk muffin tops into glaze when cooled to room temperature. (Omit the glaze altogether if you don't like the mess.)

Answer 4

When you make your muffins you just add a small amount of poppy seeds about 2 tbsp to a recipe, to the batter, before baking. They are more for the look than taste.
They are just added from the container as is.

Answer 5

You have to get the special poppy seed from Afghanistan. First you have to grind the seeds down to a powder. It doesn't take much. Why waste time cooking it though, just snort it up your nose and you won't even want to cook the muffins.

Answer 6

oh give me a break, just eat them straight from the bottle if you want to go that route. I don't think you could add enough to make them "special" and still have a muffin left to bake

Answer 7

I'm not sure but be sure to use moonshine instead of milk in the chocolate buttercream frosting on them. It gives them a special "Kick"........

Answer 8

17 cups per 1 cup of muffin mix!

Answer 9

Answer 10
