Jammy Muffins

Directions

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.
