Ingredients
For the Dough:
3 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for kneading)
1 tbsp sugar
1½ tsp salt
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk (110°F)
¼ cup warm water (110°F)
2 tbsp butter, melted
For Cooking:
¼ cup cornmeal (for dusting)
Butter or oil (for greasing the skillet)
Optional Add-ins:
½ tsp cinnamon and ¼ cup raisins
¼ cup whole wheat flour (replace part of all-purpose)
Instructions
Activate the Yeast: Mix warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead: Knead on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes or use a mixer for 5 minutes until elastic.
Rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
Shape: Punch down dough. Divide into 8–10 pieces, shape into balls, and flatten to ½-inch discs. Place on a cornmeal-dusted sheet, sprinkle more cornmeal on top, cover, and rest for 20–30 minutes.
Cook: Heat a greased skillet over medium-low. Cook muffins 6–8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Cool & Serve: Cool on a wire rack. Fork-split to reveal nooks and crannies. Toast and enjoy.
