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.
