2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Recipe

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Blend cream cheese with icing sugar; set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar; beat in egg and orange rind. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, stirring until just blended. Do not overmix. Spoon into large greased or paper-lined muffin tins, filling halfway to top. Add 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture and 1 tsp of jam to each; top with remaining batter. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until firm to touch. Remove immediately from tins.
