1
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

3
Combine Ingredients
Once the yeast is activated, pour the mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add melted butter. Mix until a rough dough forms.
4
Kneading
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

6
Shape English Muffins
After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1-inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out muffins. Place them on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
7
Second Rise
Cover the muffins with a towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
8
Cooking
Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook the muffins for about 7-10 minutes on each side until golden brown. Ensure they are cooked through.

9
Cool and Serve
Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or toasted with your favorite toppings.
