Corn Muffins with Raspberry Jam

If you grew up like I did thinking that the best corn muffins are the ones that come from a boxed mix, then you have to try this recipe. It will change your life—well, as much as a muffin can! It has a great crumb, somewhere between tender cake and crumbly corn bread, and amazing flavor, with butter, milk, and crème fraîche all adding richness. The oil keeps it incredibly moist and the jam in the middle is a sweet surprise.
