Lemon Poppyseed muffins

Here's a recipe I made up for lemon poppyseed muffins:
Ummm, really - try these - they are YUM!

2 eggs - separated
Beat egg whites to stiff peak, set aside. Save yolks.

Cream together:
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2/3 cups brown sugar
2 lemons zested
1 tsp vanilla

Add yolks to butter mixture.

In a separate bowl, combine:
1 cup flour
1/3 cup cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp poppy seeds
1/4 tsp salt
Set aside.

In (yet another bowl - maybe #4), combine:
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cream cheese
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Add half the flour mixture to butter mixture and mix, then half the sour cream mixture to the butter mixture and mix, then the other half of flour mixture and mix and the remaining sour cream mixture and mix.
Fold in egg whites. Scoop into greased or lined muffin tins. Makes 12 regular or 6 large.
Bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes - maybe up to 5 minutes more depending on your oven.
