C'mon make them with me step-by-step , this recipe is so forgiving it is difficult to go wrong!

Ingredients-

(makes about 10 medium sized ones)

• Refined flour- 1 cup
• Powdered sugar-1/4 cup
• Baking powder- 1 1/2 tsp.
• salt- 1/4 tsp.
• egg-1
• Milk- 1/3 cup
• Butter- 3 tbsp.
• Vanilla essence- 1 tsp.
• your favorite jam- 5 tsp.

Method-

Preheat oven at 180 deg.C .Cream together butter and sugar together till light.I am whisking everything by hand since I think you can control the folding and beating much better, but you can use an electric beater too.

Add the egg and vanilla essence

.

Add flour, baking powder, salt and the milk.

I am using tart moulds here, but you can use regular muffin trays, lined., put the batter into mould halfway through ,like so-

Put half a tsp. of jam into the middle making sure that jam does not touch the sides of

the moulds

.

Cover up with more batter ,carefully ,sort of like spread it over them covering well on

all sides like in the pic below-

  

Bake for 20-25 mins till puffed up and golden on top.

Enjoy over cups of hot tea/coffee with friends!                                       delicious plump jam-filled muffins-split wide open!
