Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Mixing the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Then, add the flour and salt gradually, mixing until a dough forms.
- 2
Kneading
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shaping Muffins
Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles. Place the rounds on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

Second Rise
Cover the muffins with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffy.
- 5
Cooking
Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the muffins for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
- 6
Cooling
Once cooked, remove the muffins from the skillet and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing.
