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.
