Muffins

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of sifted flour
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 2 ounces of butter, melted in a pint of milk
• 4 or 5 spoonfuls of yeast

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour and beaten eggs.
2. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter in a pint of milk over low heat.
3. Pour the melted butter and milk mixture into the flour and egg mixture.
4. Add the yeast to the mixture and beat thoroughly until well combined.
5. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and set it aside to rise for two or three hours in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.
6. After the dough has risen, preheat a greased griddle over medium heat.
7. Using greased muffin rings, spoon the dough into the rings on the hot griddle.
8. Cook the muffins for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Remove the muffins from the griddle and let them cool slightly before serving.
10. Serve the English muffins warm with butter, jam, or any topping of your choice.
