English Muffins Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees )
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 to 3-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Cornmeal

Recipe Instructions:

Scald milk in a saucepan; add butter, sugar and salt.
Stir until butter melts; cool to lukewarm.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; add to milk mixture.
Stir in all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour until smooth.
Add sesame seeds, poppy seeds and enough remaining whole wheat flour to make a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down.
Roll to 1/3" thickness on a cornmeal-covered surface.
Cut into circles with a 3-1/2" or 4" cutter; cover with a towel and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.

Place muffins, cornmeal side down, in a greased skillet; cook over medium-low heat until bottoms are browned, 12-14 minutes.
Turn and cook until other side is browned, 12-14 minutes.
Cool on wire racks; split and toast to serve.
