Jelly doughnut muffins
As many of you know, I am not a huge baker, but on dreary, rainy days, what else is there to do?
(Ah yes, there is always writing a novel too, of course...)
So, today I pinched a recipe from The Daily Mail for Jelly Doughnut muffins, and converted it to American measurements. I also swapped the word 'jam' for jelly, although if ever we're sitting down to toast, it's still going to be jam in this house. Peanut Butter and jam sandwiches, on the other hand, don't sound nearly as decadent or delicious as peanut butter and jelly, so in that instance, it will always remain jelly...
These muffins are an adorable idea, and am assuming that when I take them out the oven in twenty minutes, the Smalls will be pouncing...
MAKES 12
INGREDIENTS
* 1 cup softened butter
* 1 cup golden caster sugar
* 1 1/2 cup self-raising flour
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1/2tsp baking powder
* 1/2tsp baking soda
* 12tsp raspberry or strawberry jelly
* 3tbsp caster sugar to dust
* 3 eggs
METHOD
1. Heat oven to 350. Place all the ingredients except the jelly and sugar for dusting into a large mixing bowl and beat well with a wooden spoon until smooth. Place a spoonful of the mixture into 12 silicone muffin moulds (or line a tin with paper muffin cases).
2. Make a dip in the centre of each cake with a teaspoon, then add a teaspoonful of jelly to each one. Top with a little more mixture, and spread to make sure the jam is covered. Bake for 25 minutes until risen, golden and just firm to the touch.
3. Allow to cool for 10 minutes then remove from the moulds and roll gently in caster sugar while still warm. They will keep well in a cake tin for up to 3 days.
VARIATION:
Replace the jelly with a chunk of chocolate before baking, and/or roll in cinnamon flavoured caster sugar once cooled.

just checked the gigi stone interview. I didn't really like her from the beginning, I thought the introduction she made was lame and quite out of place. And she did realise she'd made a mistake when you said Nan 's 65!!

jane I think the conversions are wrong. A measuring cup measures volume, not weight. One cup = 250 ml. One cup of flour is 125 gr., one cup of butter 240 gr and one cup of sugar is 230 gr.
