2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/4 c. melted shortening or salad oil
1 c. milk
2 tbsp. sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Sift dry ingredients. Mix beaten egg, milk, sugar and melted fat. Add the combined liquid to the dry ingredients all at once. Stir just enough to dampen all the flour. Batter will still be lumpy. Fill greased muffin pans 2/3 full. Top batter in each muffin pan with 1 tsp. citrus marmalade or other favorite jelly. Bake for about 20 minutes.

VARIATION: For Blueberry Muffins: Add 1 cup uncooked blueberries but reduce milk to 3/4 cup. Mix berries with dry ingredients.
