  Adjust oven rack to top third position; preheat oven to 400°F.
  Coat 12-cup muffin pan with vegetable spray. Thoroughly mix flour,
  sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large

  drizzle about 1 tb of lemon mixture over each muffin. Allow muffins
  to cool in pan for 10 minutes to absorb syrup, then remove to rack
