Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Cornmeal, for dusting
Start by combining the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Pour the yeast mixture, warm milk, and melted butter into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or drinking glass to cut out circles of dough. Dust each circle with cornmeal and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and cook the English muffins for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Let them cool on a wire rack before splitting and toasting.
