Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

  2. 2

    Heat Wet Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and butter over medium heat until warm (about 110°F or 43°C). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add the warm milk mixture to the egg and whisk together. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.

Kneading and Rising

  1. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  2. 5

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Shaping and Cooking

  1. 6

    Shape the Muffins

    After the first rise, punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out muffins.

  2. 7

    Prepare for Cooking

    Sprinkle cornmeal on a baking sheet. Place the cut muffins on the baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

  3. 8

    Cook the Muffins

    Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook muffins for about 7-10 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Finishing

  1. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the muffins from the skillet and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or toasted with butter and jam.
