English Muffins

These are amazingly easy and very tasty too.

Wheat English Muffins
                                                                                                          

1 C water (warm)
1/2 C milk (warm)
1 C wheat flour
2 C white wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. honey
2 T butter, melted
2 tsp. yeast

In a large bowl, mix together water, milk, honey and salt.

Then, add in 2 C of flour and yeast.

Mix well until a wet dough is formed.

Cover dough and place in a warm place to rise.

When dough has doubled, add in the butter and remaining flour. Just mix it in with a spatula.

Then, roll the dough out on a lightly cornmealed surface to 1/2 inch thickness.

 Using a circular cookie cutter (or the rim of a large drinking glass), cut out muffins.

 Cover, and allow these to rise for about 20-30 minutes, until roughly doubled. 

Preheat the griddle (I used an electric skillet) to 350. Then, using butter grease your griddle.  (If you are using a skillet you can put the cover on when helps them to poof more.)

Add the muffins and cook on each side for about 10-15 minutes, checking for a nice browning to occur.

Check for doneness by splitting them slightly with a knife.
