Preparation

Step 1

Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a mixing bowl; add wheat germ. Cut in shortening and peanut butter. In a separate bowl, beat egg with milk; add all at once to the first mixture. Stir just until moistened. Spoon batter into greased large muffin pans, filling about 2/3 full. Spoon about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of preserves into the center of each. Bake at 400° for about 25 minutes, or until done.
Makes about 10 muffins.
