Jam Filled Muffins

Remember those Jim-Jam biscuits from Britannia ? 

They used to be my favorite, along with Good Day and Marie Biscuits... the pleasure of digging into cold and delicious jam in between crispy layers of biscuit.. aah. Love those! So, I made my own version of Jam Filled Muffins one Saturday, reminiscing fond memories of Adyar Bakery @ Ashok Nagar :-).

Bowl 1

• 2 cups All Purpose Flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp Salt

Bowl 2

• 6 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 tsb Almond Extract
• 1 and 1/4 cups Sour Cream

Filling

1. Grease muffin trays with non stick spray and preheat oven to 375F
2. Stir together Bowl 1 ingredients and keep aside
3. Beat together Bowl 2 ingredients and add in Bowl 1 in phases and stir until just evenly moistened. The batter will be slightly lumpy, do not over mix.
4. Spoon the batter into the muffin trays to fill 'em half way
5. Drop a heap/ teaspoon full of Jam into the half filled muffin trays, then cover with batter until level with rim
6. Bake muffins until golden dry and springy to touch... 20-25 mins.
