Strawberry-orange muffins

Serves : Makes 12

 

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tspn salt

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

1 tbsp finely grated orange zest

1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced

1/4 cup strawberry jam

 

Preparation and Cooking Instructions:

Preheat an oven to 400°F. Butter standard muffin tins.

 

In a large bowl stir and toss together the flour, baking powder, baking

soda and salt. Set aside. 

 

In a medium bowl whisk together the sugar, milk, sour cream, oil, egg

and orange zest until mixed; stir in the strawberries (pat dry between

paper towels to keep juices from coloring the batter). Add to the

combined dry ingredients and stir just until blended.

 

Place a spoonful of batter in each prepared muffin cup. Top each with a

scant teaspoon of strawberry jam.

 

Spoon the remaining batter over the jam, filling each cup about

two-thirds full. 

 

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out

clean, 15-18 minutes.

Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then remove.
