Jelly Donut Muffins

1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup canola oil or corn oil (…whatever..)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup superfine sugar, minus 1 tablespoon
12 teaspoons strawberry jam or jelly
1cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar

Directions ::..

A jelly donut and muffin rolled into one! You can’t resist! I made these once a while ago, and decided to find the recipe to post here (I haven’t made them recently, probably cuz i’ve gotten alot more health concious). These muffins taste very similar to actual jelly donuts, yet are alot easier to make, and probably less calorific! The butter and sugar topping is what really made these irresistable. NB The recipe book I got these from (a Nigllla Lawson one) had the measurements in grams so I have converted them to cups.

1. Preheat oven to 190�C/370�F.

2. Beat together milk, oil, egg and vanilla with a fork.

3. Stir the wet mixture into flour and superfine sugar to combine (just). Don’t overmix! The lumps don’t matter.

4. Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup in your tray so its just under a third full.

5. With a teaspoon, add a dollop of strawberry jam, then top with more muffin mix so the cases are just about full.

6. Bake for 20 minutes until the tops are springy.

7. Melt butter in a saucepan and lay out the granulated sugar in a wide, shallow bowl.

8. As soon as the muffins are ready remove from moulds and dip into butter then toll in sugar.

9. Eat warm.
