Jammy Muffins

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a 12-count mini muffin pan with baking cups or lightly grease tin.

2. 2

   In a large bowl mix dry ingredients (flour through sugar).

3. 3

   In another bowl, beat egg. Add milk and mix to combine. Then mix in the melted butter and extract of choice.

4. 4

   Make a hollow in the center of the flour mixture; then add milk mixture. Stir only until moistened.

5. 5

   Fill muffin tins just 1/2 full (you won't use all the batter in this step). Spoon 1 scant teaspoon of jam on top of batter. Then add just enough batter to cover jam.

6. 6

   Bake muffins about 17-19 minutes, until tops are golden.
