Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 3/4 To 3 1/4 cups all-purpose
-flour
1 pk Instant dry yeast
1 tb Sugar
1 t Salt
1 1/4 c -- Warm water
2 tb Shortening
Cornmeal

Oven is not needed. Use pan or electric griddle
heated to 325 F.

In large mixer bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups flour, yeast,
sugar and salt; mix well. Add warm water (125 F. or
so) and oil to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until
moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand,
gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a
firm dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and
elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl,
turning to grease top. Cover and allow to rise in a
warm place until double, about 45 minutes. Punch down
dough.

On surface sprinkled with cornmeal, roll dough into
1/4" thickness. With biscuit or cookie cutter, cut
into 3 to 4" circles. Place muffins on ungreased
cookie sheets. Cover and allow to rise at room
temperature until double, about 30 minutes.

Bake on lightly oiled electric griddle or fry pan at
325 F. for about 8 minutes on each side, until deep
golden brown.

Yield: About 12 muffins.
