List of Ingredients




1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup strawberry or grape jelly
Frosting of your choice
Colored sprinkles, optional

Recipe



In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk.

Fill 36 paper-lined muffin cups half full. Spoon 1 teaspoon jelly in the center of each. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 1 in. from the edge comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Frost and decorate with sprinkles if desired. Yield: 3 dozen.
