Jam Muffins

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375 F. Using one large or two small muffin pans, lightly coat 12 2 1/2-inch cups with non-stick cooking spray or use paper liners and no spray.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
3. 3
   Melt margarine in small saucepan over moderate heat. Combine in a small bowl with buttermilk, then beat in the egg with a fork. Add the mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring only enough to moisten.
4. 4
   Spoon half the batter evenly into the muffin cups. With the back of a spoon, make a shallow indentation in the batter in each muffin cup, then spoon 1 tsp jam into each one. Top with the remaining batter, spreading to cover the filling.
5. 5
   Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
