Tried n' True: Muffins with jelly center true comfort food
By Jackie Lindley
Special to the Tribune-Star
West Union, IL —
Muffins are one of those comfort foods. With a basic recipe, you can do so much. You can add a cup of drained fruit to batter, add nuts, raisins, etc.
When I was home with my brothers and sisters (all five of us), we would enjoy fresh muffins with jelly in the center. That’s still what I like. Now my sons and grandchildren enjoy them.
Not bad for four to five generations to carry on.
Muffins
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup blueberries or fruit of choice
1 teaspoon jelly of choice
-- Sift dry ingredients together.
-- Mix in egg, milk and margarine; mix well.
-- Add fruit and fold into batter.
-- Fill muffin tins (paper-lined or sprayed with nonstick coating) three-quarters full.
-- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
Note: If using jelly, line your muffin tins with paper and place 1 tablespoon batter in bottom, then add 1 teaspoon jelly on top, then cover with batter to three-quarters full.
