(makes about 9)

1T sugar

1/2 t salt

1T butter

1 c hot water

3/4 T instant yeast

1/8 t sugar

1/3 c warm water

2 c flour

1/2 c dry milk

cornmeal for cooking

combine each section of ingredients separately. 

The first to melt the sugar

the second to make a yeast slurry 

and the third to combine dries

(makes for better distribution)

Then combine all together into pancake like batter

let rest 1-2 hours

heat griddle to 300 degrees (medium-ish flames) 

(after the first test cook muffin adjust heat)

butter your molds, sprinkle cornmeal on griddle generously.. and add the batter (about a 1/4 cup)
(Tuna cans with both sides cut out or mason jar lids make great round molds!)

after 5-7 minutes remove molds.. (if you take them off too early.. notice muffin on the left, the sides were not quite set up enough!!)

sprinkle more cornmeal on top!

flip and cook 5 more minutes

remove .. 

and most importantly!!! 

(LET THEM COOL!!) 

or they will be kind of gummy still. 

then store for eating pleasure!
