In order for the rate of absorption to be correct we will be combining most of the ingredients followed by the method that alternates the most important liquid ingredients with the flour.

- In a large bowl cream the room temperature butter and sugar.
- Beat in the eggs and almond extract.
- Beat in the baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Whisk the milk and sour cream together.
- Beat in ⅓ of the flour.
- Beat in ½ of the milk/sour cream.
- Beat in another ⅓ of flour.
- Beat in the last of the milk sour cream.
- Carefully fold in the poppy seeds and fresh raspberries with the last of the flour.
- Divide the muffin batter among the paper liners in the muffin tin.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes a toothpick should come out clean.
- Cool slightly before eating or cool completely or a wire rack and eat later!

These look absolutely gorgeous. Can they be frozen . Also can you use frozen raspberries covered in 1 tablespoon flour or defrosted drained berries. Looking forward to your response.

I haven't frozen them myself, but I think they should freeze fine. Frozen berries should be fine. Would definitely toss them with flour whether they are frozen or defrosted, though.
