Preparation
Step 1
Take the eggs out of the fridge ahead of time - warm ingredients help muffins rise better. Water should also be room temperature. Use refined, odorless vegetable oil. For filling, choose thick jam or preserves without seeds.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Start beating them, gradually adding sugar. Beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy and pale, about 5 minutes. Without stopping, pour in the vegetable oil.
Step 3
Then add the water and mix until smooth. The batter will be thin - this is normal.
Step 4
Mix the flour with the baking powder. Sift it into the wet mixture. Using a mixer on low speed, mix until the batter is smooth.
Step 5
The batter should be like runny sour cream. You might need a bit more flour - adjust based on consistency.
Step 6
Take a muffin tin and line each cup with a paper liner - this prevents sticking and keeps them neat. Fill each liner about 2/3 full with batter. Use a teaspoon to gently drop a bit of jam in the center of each.
Step 7
Spoon a bit more batter over each to cover the filling. For an experiment, I left one muffin without covering the jam. The original recipe claimed the jam would sink and get covered during baking - and it did.
Step 8
I made six muffins with jam, and another six with berries. For the berry ones, gently fold clean, dry berries into the batter, adding 2–3 per muffin.
Step 9
Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 180°C (about 350°F) for 20-30 minutes. Time depends on your oven and muffin size. Check doneness with a toothpick (insert it at the edge, not in the center with the filling). The uncovered muffin turned out just like the others - the jam sank and baked into the batter.
Step 10
Let the muffins cool before serving. Enjoy!
