warm water

Instructions
Prepare a large mixing bowl, by greasing.
In a small saucepan, add milk, and heat until it begins to bubble.
Take saucepan off of heat. Stir in sugar until it has dissolved. Set aside to cool until lukewarm.
In the meantime, in a small mixing bowl, add warm water, and yeast. Stir to mix, and set aside approximately 10 minutes, or until it becomes creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, add lukewarm milk, 3 cups of flour, melted shortening, and the yeast mixture. Beat mixture until smooth.
Add in salt, and the other 3 cups of flour. You may need less flour, so add a little at a time until you get a soft dough.
Knead dough, then place the dough in the prepared, greased bowl.
Cover bowl with waxed paper, and set aside to rise.
Punch down dough. Roll out to approximately ½ inch thick.
Let stand for approximately 15 to 20 minutes to rise again.
On a flat surface, layout waxed paper, and sprinkle cornmeal on it.
Using a biscuit cutter, cut out rounds. Place on prepared waxed paper.
Dust cornmeal on top of rounds.
Cover rounds with waxed paper, and let rise for approximately ½ hour.
In the meantime, grease, and heat griddle to medium heat.
On the prepared griddle, in batches, cook rounds for approximately 10 minutes, per side.
Place cooked English Muffins on a cooking rack to fully cool.
When fully cooled, store in an airtight container.
