How to Make Raspberry Poppy Seed Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the seeds from 1 vanilla bean to 4 large egg yolks.
  5. Gradually add the egg yolks, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
  6. Beat until the mixture is pale and lemon-colored.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons poppy seeds.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  9. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  10. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  11. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  12. Gently fold in 1-2 pints (approximately 2-4 cups) fresh raspberries.
  13. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
