Potato English Muffins - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup cold mashed potatoes
1/3 cup milk (plus or minus a tiny bit)
Preparation
-
In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and nutmeg.
Cut in the butter with 2 knives or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse meal.
Mash the potato until it is smooth.
Add it to the flour.
Make a well in the center of the flour and add the milk.
Mix it lightly with a fork, adding more milk if needed to make a soft dough.
Put it on a lightly floured surface and knead it until smooth.
Pat it (or roll it) to 1/2 inch thickness or less.
Using a 3 inch cookie cutter (or whatever you use to make 3 inch rounds) cut them out.
Dust a griddle with flour and heat until the flour browns just a bit.
Cook the muffins on the griddle (at medium to medium-high heat) until they are cooked through and golden brown, turning them once.
Serve them hot with your favorite topping.
