67
English Muffins are a tasty breakfast treat easily made. Mix the dough in the evening and let it rise overnight. The second rise is only 20 minutes. Follow the recipe below. You may need to make adjustments depending on the idiosyncricities of your own stove.
Recipe
2 Cups Flour
2 1/2 Teaspoons Yeast (one package)
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1/3 Cup Warm Water
1 Cup Milk
1 Tablespoon oil
1/2 Teaspoon salt
cornmeal
Drop discs in skillet
Method
Add together yeast, sugar and warm water. Allow to sit 5 minutes
Add rest. Mix vigorously 5 minutes or so.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and towel. Allow to rise overnight in a draft-free place.
Next morning:
Cover tray or large cutting board with a cornmeal
Shape dough by scooping it into a spoon and dropping it into cornmeal. Plan on making 8 -10 muffins. Dough will be quite gooey.
Roll each piece around in cornmeal.
Flatten into a disc.
Leave coated muffin discs on cornmeal and cover with a towel. Let rise for 20 minutes.
Heat a lightly greased skillet to medium heat.
Drop muffins on skillet. Reduce heat to low.
Turn when bottom of muffin is golden tan. Check before 10 minutes are up to avoid burning. But you want to make sure muffin is cooked thoroughly.
Cook 10 minutes more.

Hawsdream - I live in America and we call them English muffins but you could call them skillet bread, I guess.
Thank you, Gma, I made the jam too, it's blueberry marmalade.
Iphegenia - I like being able to let them rise overnight.

They sound really tasty, can't say I have ever tried one but then I am Cornish and not English. Sounds like they could come from Yorkshire, don't know.
