Jam Muffins

Well I know it's been a while since I last updated my blog, I've just been so busy with life!!
Here is my latest offering. This recipe came about all because I found a half eaten jar of my homemade Goosberry and Elderflower jam in the back of the store cupboard, and the fact that we had run out of cake (a huge sin in our house!)


Jam Muffins

10oz Plain Flour
1 level tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3oz caster sugar
8fl oz milk
4oz butter (melted and slightly cooled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8oz good quality jam or conserve

1.In a large bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder and salt.
2.In a separate bowl mix together the eggs, sugar, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
3.Sift the flour mix into the bowl that contains the wet ingredients. Quickly mix together with a fork, until the batter is mixed (small lumps don't matter, it shouldn't be smooth like a Yorkshire batter mix)
4.Spoon approximately 1 third of the batter mix into the muffin cases. Then spoon the jam into each partially filled muffin case. Spoon on the rest of the mix into the muffin cases making sure the jam is covered.
5.Bake in oven at 200c, 400f, gas mark 6, for 20 – 25 minutes until well risen and brown.
6.Cool on a wire rack and serve slightly warm.
