ENGLISH MUFFINS

English Muffins

Ingredients

1/2 cup on non-fat dry milk or buttermilk

1 teaspoon salt

2 1/2  teaspoons of sugar

1 Tablespoon of shortening of Butter

1  1/2 cups of hot water

Add together in a cup and let this rise to the cup:

1 Tablespoon dry yeast

1/2 teaspoon of sugar

1/3 cup water

2 cups all purpose flour sifted  (2 1/2 cups of spelt flour)

(Equipment that you need, a fry pan with a lid on it,

4 metal rings,  a # 30 ice cream scoop)

I did this recipe in the compact Bosch with the dough hook

I added the first column of the recipe, then I added the risen cup of yeast.

The last thing that you add is the flour.

Mix altogether until the flour is all wet.  

Do-not over beat!

 Cover and let rise for 30 minutes

When risen take your fry pan and heat up with the rings inside the pan.  Heat on medium heat, when this is warm enough, spray the rings and pan lightly with vegetable spray.   Then take your ice cream scoop and put 2 scoops in each ring.   Make them a little over half full.  After about 4 minutes lift the rings out of the pan with some tongs.   They will keep there shape, then turn your english muffin over and cook again.   Should make 9 english muffins. 

You will love them, they are so good and fresh tasting.  These are covered in my fresh apple jam!  So Good!
