How to Make Cornmeal Jambuster Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk and 1 cup cornmeal. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup melted unsalted margarine.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients (cornmeal mixture, eggs, and margarine) into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
  7. Make a small well in the center of each muffin.
  8. Fill each well with 1 teaspoon (or more, to taste) of your favorite jam.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 15 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and muffin size.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
