Sarabeth'S Bakery Pumpkin Muffins

• softened unsalted butter, for the pan
• 3 2/3 cups pastry flour, sifted
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 1/3 cups superfine sugar
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature, beaten
• 1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin
• 1 cup seedless golden raisins or 1 cup dark raisin
• 1/4 cup hulled unsalted sunflower seeds

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven; preheat oven to 400u0b0.
2. Brush the insides of 12 to 14 muffin cups with softened butter, then brush the top of the pan.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, , and salt together in a medium bowl.
4. Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
5. Gradually beat in the sugar, and continue beating, scraping the sides of the bowl often with a silicone spatula, until the mixture is very light in color and texture, about 5 mintues.
6. Gradually beat in the eggs.
7. Decrease the mixer speed to low; beat in the pumpkin (the mixture may look curdled).
8. In thirds, beat the flour mixture, and mix until smooth.
9. Add the raisins; increase speed to high and beat until the batter has a slight sheen, about 15 seconds, no longer.
10. Using a 2 1/2 inch diameter ice cream scoop, portion the batter, rounded side up, into the prepared cups.
11. Sprinkle the tops with sunflower seeds.
12. Bake for 10 minutes; decrease oven temperature to 375u0b0 and continue baking until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a pick comes out clean, about 15 minutes more.
13. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes; remove the muffins from the pan and cool completely (on wire rack).
