This English muffin recipe has been made in my family for decades. They are very good and taste much better than store-bought English muffins. They're great with orange butter or cream cheese and jam.

Ingredients

  • milk: 1 cup
  • white sugar: 2 Tbsp
  • warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C): 1 cup
  • active dry yeast: 1 pack (.25 ounce pack)
  • all-purpose flour: 6 cups
  • shortening: 0.25 cup (melted)
  • salt: 1 tsp
  • cornmeal: 0.25 cup (or more if needed)
