Homemade English Muffins

From About.com

You can make your own English Muffins at home.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cup milk, warm
  • 3 tbsp butter or margarine (I melt it in the milk.)
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten ( I beat in the warmed milk and melted butter.)
  • 4 to 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 package yeast ( or equivalent loose yeast)

Preparation:

Place ingredients in bowl and mix together. Knead in the extra flour until it's not very sticky. Roll dough out onto cornmeal covered surface. (I just use flour because I never remember to keep cornmeal in the house.) Cut out dough into circles (whatever size you want). Cover and let rise about 20 minutes.

Heat frying pan (or griddle) to low heat. Place muffing cornmeal side down. Cook about 3-4 min each side, not too dark.

If you made the muffins too think and the center isn't cooked through you can place them on a baking sheet and put them in a just warm (200F) oven for about 10-20 min. - Aubra, forum member
