JAM-FILLED MUFFINS

Ingredients:

* 2 cups all-purpose flour

* 3/4 cup sugar

* 1 tablespoon baking powder

* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

* 1/2 teaspoon salt (I used 1/4 tsp)

* 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

* 2 large eggs

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

* 1 1/4 cups sour cream (I used nonfat plain yogurt)

* 1/3 to 1/2 cup jelly or seedless jam, such as red currant jelly, raspberry, blackberry, or strawberry jam)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375º F. Grease 12 standard muffin cups with butter or butter flavored nonstick spray (I used paper liners and greased the top of the pan).

In a bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients (flour through salt).

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, extracts, and sour cream.

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, and stir just until evenly moistened. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.

Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, about 1/3 full. Drop a heaping teaspoon of jelly or jam into the center, then cover with batter, level with the rim of the cup.

Bake until golden, dry, and springy to the touch, 20-25 minutes. (I baked about 23 minutes). Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes, then unmold.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yes, for me it was. The heat from baking makes it spread out nicely, plus the muffins taste good

on their own and they're very moist, so you don't need to overload them. But, hey, a little more wouldn't hurt at all, especially if the jam is exceptional.

 
Or maybe add a dollop of cream cheese to the center with the jam smileys/smile.gif ...and a few choc chips....

 
ONE kiss? I'm ready to put a whole chocolate covered coconut macaroon inside smileys/smile.gif

 
You 2 are so bad. Meryl is being good with a no choc posting and there you go leading us astray ; )

 
Chocolate = GOOD; no chocolate = BAD... We're just keeping her on the right track smileys/smile.gif
