Strawberry Orange Muffins

Strawberry Orange Muffins

2 1/4 c All-purpose flour
2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
3/4 c Sugar
1/2 c Milk
1/2 c Sour cream
1/3 c Vegetable oil
1 Egg
1 tb Finely grated orange zest
1 c Fresh strawberries; thinly sliced 1/8″; pat dry between paper towels to keep juices from coloring the batter
1/3 c Strawberry jam

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Butter standard muffin tins. In a large bowl stir and toss together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a medium bowl whisk together the sugar, milk, sour cream, oil, egg and orange zest until mixed; stir in the strawberries. Add to the combined dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Place a spoonful of batter in each prepared muffin cup. Top each with a scant teaspoon of strawberry jam. Spoon the remaining batter over the jam, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean, 15-18 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then remove. Makes about 16 standard muffins.
