English Muffins

1 cup milk

3 tablespoons butter

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons sugar

2 cups all purpose flour Lauryn's edit**can add whole wheat flour instead of white (I do 3/4 c whole wheat and 1 1/4 white). Too much whole wheat makes it too heavy. 

1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast

cornmeal

Put the ingredients in your bread machine in the order listed (minus the cornmeal).

Start the dough cycle. When finished, sprinkle your work area with cornmeal. Using your hands, pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Turn the dough so the sides are coated with cornmeal.

Cut into 8-10 rounds, then gather up the leftover dough and cut into more rounds.

Place on a baking sheet and let rise for 20-30 minutes, until not quite double.

Heat a skillet or griddle over low heat. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Cook the muffins about 5-7 minutes per side (they should be golden brown when you turn them).

Serve warm and enjoy!
