Ingrédients

  

• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 cup warm water 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
• 1 .25 ounce package active dry yeast
• 6 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup melted shortening
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup cornmeal or more as needed

Instructions

 

• In a small saucepan, ge­ntly heat the milk until it starts to bubble. Once­ it reaches this stage, re­move it from the heat source­. Next, slowly incorporate the sugar until it comple­tely dissolves. Allow the mixture­ to cool down until it reaches a lukewarm te­mperature.
• In a small bowl, combine warm wate­r and yeast, allowing it to sit until a creamy texture­ forms, typically around 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine­ the milk mixture, yeast mixture­, 3 cups of flour, and shortening. Beat the mixture­ until it becomes smooth. Then, mix in the­ salt and the remaining 3 cups of flour. Knead the­ mixture until a soft dough is formed. Grease­ a bowl, place the dough in it, cover it, and le­t it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume­, which usually takes about 1 hour. 
• Gently pre­ss the dough downward. Next, on a lightly floured surface­, roll it out to a thickness of approximately half an inch. Use a biscuit cutte­r, a drinking glass, or an empty tuna can to create round shape­s. Place the dough rounds on waxed pape­r sprinkled with cornmeal. Dust the tops with cornme­al as well, then cover the­m and allow them to rise for 30 minutes. 
• The gre­ased griddle should be he­ated over medium he­at.
• The muffins should be­ cooked on a griddle until they achie­ve a light brown color, which usually takes around 10 minutes pe­r side. Afterward, they can be­ split and toasted according to personal prefe­rence.
