Looking for a delicious and easy-to-make treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth? Look no further than these Lemon Poppy Seed Gems! These bite-sized treats are bursting with flavor and are perfect for any occasion.

To make these Lemon Poppy Seed Gems, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the lemon zest and poppy seeds.
Spoon the batter into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a gem comes out clean.
Once the gems are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Lemon Poppy Seed Gems are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, with a light and fluffy texture that will leave you wanting more. They are perfect for a quick snack or as a dessert to share with friends and family.
