Yummy English Muffins...mmmm mmmmm Good!

Ingredient List:
1 cup warm milk
2 tbls white sugar
2 1/4 tsps yeast ( or one package)
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup melted shortening
6 cups flour
1 tsp salt

Warm the milk in a saucepan til it bubbles around the edges. Mix in the sugar until it disolves then let it cool some.  In another small bowl dissolve the yeast in the water and let stand about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the milk mixture, yeast mixture, shortening, and 1/2 the flour, beat until smooth then add the salt and enough flour to make a soft dough. I use a Kitchen aid mixer but if you don't have one, knead the dough then place in a greased bowl , cover and let rise til doubled.

punch down the dough, I made the dough into a long cylinder and then cut slices but I think if you want them more uniform rolling it out and using a biscuit cutter is the way to go although they taste good even if they are perfectly round..:)

lay out some waxed paper and dust with cornmeal, lay the rounds on top then dust with cornmeal again, cover and let rise JUST 1/2 hour , you don't want them getting too puffy.

heat a greased griddle using medium heat , cook the muffins 10 minutes per side,
Oh my goodness these are so very tasty, you'll never want to buy the store bought version again!

I made about 18 using this recipe.
