Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups warm milk (110°F)
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Cornmeal, for dusting
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter and the yeast mixture.
- Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass.
- Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal and place the muffins on it. Sprinkle more cornmeal on top. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook muffins for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool slightly before splitting and toasting. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use a thermometer to ensure milk is not too hot for yeast.
- Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For best texture, toast before serving.
