English Muffins     

Ingredients:
1 cup milk
2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. shortening
1 package dry yeast
3 cups flour

Preparation:
Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil, mix it with the milk, salt, sugar, and shortening in a large bowl, and let cool to lukewarm. Stir the yeast into 1/4 cup warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes to dissolve. Add the dissolved yeast and 2 cups of the flour to the first mixture and beat vigorously. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled. Stir, add the remaining flour, and beat well. Cover and let rise until doubled again. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and pat the dough until it is 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 3 inch rounds, cover and let rise until almost double. Cook on a well greased fairly hot griddle or in a skillet for about 15 minutes on each side, turning muffins and adjusting the heat if they brown too fast.
