Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners, or grease well.
In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another large bowl with electric mixer, cream butter and sugar for 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl between additions. Add sour cream and dry ingredients alternately to creamed mixture. Stir in poppy seeds. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Immediately brush muffins with lemon glaze.
