2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, slightly beaten with a fork
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup jelly

Steps:

Grease the bottom ONLY of a 12-cup muffin tin.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a second medium sized bowl, combine the egg, milk, vanilla and vegetable oil.
Make a "well" in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to the well.
Stir until the mixture is moist.
Don't overmix - the batter should be lumpy.
Fill the muffin tins half full.
Now, here is the surprise - drop a teaspoon of jelly into the center of each muffin.
Add more batter on top of the jelly so that each cup is 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
When the muffins are baked there will be a jelly surprise in the middle.
