In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over mix; a few lumps are fine.

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup with half of the batter (about two-thirds full).

Take 2 teaspoons of jam or preserves and place them in the center of each muffin cup, then evenly distribute the remaining batter on top, covering the jam.
7
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar for a sweet crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
