Dairy English Breads, Breakfast 4 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1 lb All-purpose or bread flour
1 t Salt
1 1/2 T Dry yeast
1 t Sugar
8 Warm milk and water
2 oz Butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS

(Note:  Over here, and in England, these are just called "muffins",
and are the ones in the song about the Muffin Man who lives in Drury
Lane. They did actually sell them door-to-door every morning in  London
until the turn of the century or thereabouts.) . Sift the  flour and
salt into a bowl and leave in a warm place. Dissolve the  yeast and
sugar in 1/4 pt of the warm milk and water.  Leave to  froth, then mix
in the fat. Stir all the liquid into the warm flour  and beat well
until smooth and elastic. Cover and prove in a warm  place for 50
minutes or until doubled in bulk. Turn onto a  well-floured board and
knead, working a little more flour if  necessary to make the dough
easier to shape. Round up the dough, roll  into a thick sausage shape
and (using the sharpest knife you have)  slice into 8 to 10 portions,
each about 1 1/2 ~ 1 3/4 inch thick.  Shape each one into a round with
straight sides.  Put onto a greased  baking sheet. Cover (I use greased
plastic wrap) and put in a warm  place to prove for 30-40 minutes or
until springy to the touch. Leave  room for expansion and be careful
not to over-prove, as the muffins  will get flabby and lose their
shape. Warm and grease the bakestone  lightly. Lift the muffins
carefully onto the bakestone and cook over  very moderate heat for 8-10
minutes until pale gold underneath.  Turn  and cook the other side.
Wrap in a cloth and keep warm if cooking in  batches.  To serve, insert
a knife in the side, pull the top and  bottom slightly apart, and
insert slivers of butter. . These are  strongly recommended. The taste
of them hot off the bakestone,  griddle or frying pan makes Thomas's
look very poor indeed by  comparison.  From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster
