Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour your muffin tins, ensuring an easy release for these delectable muffins.
-
In a mixer, blend together the sugar and butter on the second speed until a creamy consistency is achieved. This sets the foundation for the muffin’s rich texture.
-
Prepare the vanilla-infused mixture by adding split vanilla beans (or vanilla extract) into the egg yolks. Gradually introduce the yolks, one at a time, into the butter and sugar mixture. Continue beating until the mixture reaches a soft lemon color, promising a delightful aroma.
-
Incorporate the magic touch of sour cream and the crunchy goodness of poppy seeds into the batter. This step adds depth and texture to the muffins, ensuring every bite is a symphony of flavors.
-
Sift the dry ingredients (cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar) together. Add this floury mixture into the egg yolk concoction, creating a harmonious blend of wet and dry ingredients.
-
In a separate bowl, whip up the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This airy mixture is the secret to the muffins’ light and fluffy texture.
-
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk batter, creating an ethereal mixture that promises a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Stir in 1-2 pints of fresh raspberries, ensuring an even distribution of these juicy gems.
-
Bake your creation in the prepped muffin tins for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as the tantalizing aroma wafts through your kitchen, signaling that these heavenly muffins are almost ready.
-
Allow the muffins to cool before indulging. This step ensures that each bite is a perfect balance of warmth and tenderness.
