Our Muffins

Today me and Alena made muffins.  I pulled out the stuff to make muffins and she said, "I want to help."  I thought to myself, "no let me get this done," but I said,  "ok".  She measured my flour and poured the ingredients in the bowl for me.  When the dough was ready she rolled her own little ball out and made her own muffins.  What a great day with Alena.  Here is the recipe

YOU MAY WANT TO HALF THIS RECIPE.  I MADE 30 MUFFINS.  And if you don't be prepare to have several skillets read to cook them or they will rise to much before you can cook the last ones.

English Muffins

6 c. flour(I used half whole wheat flour )

2 tablespoons yeast

2 T. Sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 c. water

cornmeal



     Combine 3 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, soda.  Heat milk and water until very warm, 115 degrees.  Add to dry ingredients and mix well.  Stir in remaining 3 cups flour; knead five minutes, let rise until double, about an hour. Roll out and cut with biscuit cutter.  Sprinkle cookie sheet with cornmeal and place muffin on sheet to rise until double, about 30 minutes.  Sprinkle cornmeal on top of muffins.  Cook in a cast iron pan on top of stove on medium heat seven minutes.  Turn and cook seven more minutes. It is kind of tricky getting the right heat under the skillet.  I like to put a cover on the pan to hold in the heat and sometimes I move them around to keep the middle ones from browning to fast.  Now you can make egg mcmuffins or spread cream cheese and jam on them.  Refrigerate after cooled and take them out, cut open, butter, and toast in skillet when you want a yummy food.
