Jim Dandy Jelly Crumb Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 2. To prepare the crumble topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the margarine into the mixture to form crumbles. Set aside. 3. Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. 4. Whisk the wet ingredients in a medium bowl or blend in a food processor. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until mixed. Do not overstir. 5. Spoon the batter into a greased or papered muffin tin. Fill each cup nearly to the top. Top each cup of batter with 2 teaspoons crumble topping, taking care to spread it evenly over each cup. Too much topping piled high in the middle will prevent the muffins from rising properly. 6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. 7. Cool the muffins at least 10 minutes before removing from the tin. When the muffins have cooled to room temperature, squeeze about a tablespoon of jelly into each, using a pastry tube.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Cut in shortening until particles are fine and about the size of peas.
• Add milk and egg; mix just until thoroughly blended. There will probably be lumps.
• Spoon into a greased muffin tin or paper liners. Place 1 teaspoon of jam on top of each muffin, pressing into batter slightly.
• Sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched lightly.
• Serve warm. These can also be drizzled with powdered sugar glaze for added sweetness.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs; add milk, butter and lemon zest. Pour into dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Spoon half of the batter into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups. Make a well in the center of each; add jam. Spoon remaining batter over jam. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place twelve 2 3/4-by-2-inch panettone papers on a rimmed baking sheet; set aside.
• Make the topping: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and, using a rubber spatula, toss until large crumbs form. Set aside.
• Make the muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla. Add flour mixture alternating with creme fraiche and mix until well combined.
• Divide batter evenly between muffin cups. Add 1 heaping teaspoon jam to each muffin cup and evenly divide crumb topping among muffin cups. Transfer to oven and bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
• Make the topping: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter, then let it simmer until the foam on top falls to the bottom of the pot and turns brown, 4 to 6 minutes. It will smell nutty when it's ready. Immediately pour butter into a small bowl to keep it from getting any browner, and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, spices and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the brown butter and stir, pinching the mixture together, until crumbs form. Set aside.
• Make the batter: Whisk together sour cream, eggs, vanilla, almond extract and lemon zest in a mixing bowl.
• In a large bowl, using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt until combined, about 10 seconds. Add softened butter and beat for 20 seconds to work it into the flour. Add egg mixture and continue beating until the batter is very smooth, about 1 minute.
• Sprinkle a scant tablespoon of the topping crumbs into the bottom of each muffin liner. Spoon the batter on top of the crumbs, dividing it evenly.
• Bake muffins for 5 minutes to firm up the tops so the crumbs don't sink into the batter. Remove muffin pan from the oven and lower heat to 350 degrees. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top of each muffin. Continue to bake until the muffins are springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes longer. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Use an offset spatula or butter knife to lift the muffins out of the pan. Finish cooling muffins on a rack.
