Regular English muffins 

Combine 1 cup water, 2 tsp sugar, 1/2 cup scalded milk and 1 tsp salt in mixing bowl. 
Dissolve 1 pkg active dry yeast in 2 TB warm water for 3-5 minutes. 
Combine these two mixtures. 

Sift before measuring - 4 cups all purpose flour. 
Beat 2 cups of flour gradually into the above combined mixture. 
Cover bowl witih cloth and let dough rise in warm place for about 1 1/2 hours 
or until it collapses back into the bowl. 

Beat in 3 TB softened butter. Beat or knead in remaining flour. 
Grease the inside of muffin rings or whatever you're using and fill half full with the batter. 
Let them stand in a lightly greased cookie sheet until teh dough has doubled in bulk. 

Place the cookie sheet with the muffins in a preheated 425 degree over. 
Cook till golden brown colour. Cool slightly. Yield: 8 muffins. 

Btw, if you increase the milk in the above recipe from 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup, 
you've got English crumpets. 

Hope one of these works. 
Blessings. June
