Preheat the oven to 425 degrees line a muffin pan with liners or spray with non stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and whisk until combined.
In a medium bowl add the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, almond extract, sour cream and milk until combined.
Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. Whisk in the poppy seeds.
Fill the muffin cups to the top.
Bake at 425 for 5 minutes then without removing the muffins reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. *see notes.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or freeze wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for 3 months.
Baking the muffins at a higher temperature and then reducing the temperature promotes that rapid rise and gives them that bakery-style muffin.
