Jam Filled Muffins

Do you have fond memories like I do of Mom making these? I asked her for the recipe and she couldn't find it or couldn't remember where it was or something. She told me to just look for a basic sweet muffin recipe.  Well here's the one I use.  They are even good plain.  We also put jam and peanut butter in the center. So good for breakfast or dessert or a cold winter day. You don't need a reason.
Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• Jam

Preparation

Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
Stir together egg, milk, and oil until blended. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Spoon batter into lightly greased muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. (Or fill 1/3 full, blob of jam, blob of batter.)
Bake at 400° for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from pans immediately. Don't forget a glass of cold milk.
