English Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. water
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 c. scalded milk
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. active dry yeast
2 Tbsp. water (warm)
4 c. all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp. softened butter

Preparation

Combine in mixing bowl:
1 cup water, sugar, milk and salt.
Dissolve yeast in 2 tablespoons warm water for 3 to 5 minutes.
Combine the 2 mixtures.
Beat 2 cups flour gradually into the mixture.
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place (about 85\u00b0) for about 1 1/2 hours or until it collapses back into the bowl.
Beat in butter.
Beat or knead in the remaining flour.
Grease the inside of the muffin rings and fill 1/2 full with the batter.
Let them stand on a lightly greased cookie sheet until the dough has doubled in bulk (it should now fill the muffin ring).
