Instructions
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, crack open the egg and pour in the milk. Whisk them together until fully combined, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
-
Combine with the Muffin Mix: Gradually stir in the box of corn muffin mix into the egg and milk mixture. Blend until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are perfectly fine.
-
Prepare the Muffin Tins: Generously grease your muffin tins to ensure that your muffins release easily after baking. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect golden crust.
-
Fill the Muffin Tins: Spoon the muffin batter into the greased tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full. This allows space for the muffins to rise beautifully without spilling over.
-
Bake the Muffins: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once ready, place the muffin tins in the oven and bake for 8 minutes, allowing the muffins to puff up and develop a lovely golden hue.
-
Add the Filling: After 8 minutes, remove the muffin tins from the oven. Quickly scoop out a small, shallow hole in the center of each muffin using a spoon or a small melon baller—this is where the magic happens!
-
Add Jam: Take your favorite jam or fruit preserve and place a generous dollop into the hole of each muffin, allowing the sweet filling to enhance the flavor of the muffin.
-
Final Bake: Return the muffin tins to the oven and bake for an additional 7-9 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of fluffy corn muffins filled with sweet jam!
