Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and milk. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape Muffins

    Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Roll out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Place the rounds on a floured baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cook Muffins
