My mother-in-law has been a great inspiration to me in the kitchen. These fruity muffins are often part of our Sunday dinner menu. Iris Linkletter, Summerside, Prince Edward Island Ingredients:
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 egg |
1-1/4 cups milk |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1/4 cup strawberry jam |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectionersâ sugar until smooth; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In another small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, brown sugar, butter, lemon peel and almond extract. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
2. Spoon half of the batter into greased muffin cups. Top each with 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture and 1 teaspoon jam. Top with remaining batter.
3. Bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 dozen.
