Mix Ingredients: Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until foamy, then mix in flour, salt, and melted butter to form dough.
Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if it’s too sticky.
Let Dough Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
– Roll and Cut: Roll the dough to about ½ inch thick, then use a round cutter or glass to cut out muffin shapes. –
Second Rise: Place rounds on a cornmeal-dusted tray, cover with a towel, and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
Preheat Griddle: Heat a griddle or skillet over low to medium heat. Do not grease it—dry heat helps create the signature crust.
Cook Muffins: Cook each side for 7–10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once.
Cool and Serve: Let muffins cool on a wire rack. Split with a fork and toast for best texture. Enjoy with butter or jam!
