Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup warm milk about 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal for dusting

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
  2. Gradually add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Use a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out the muffins. Place them on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
  7. Cover the muffins with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the muffins for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Let the muffins cool on a wire rack before slicing.
