I'm just going to say that personally I don't understand what the fuss is all about for the Royal Wedding, but it did get me to think of some fun stuff to make and eat at 5:00 AM tomorrow. Many people are having parties to watch the wedding and will probably need to feed their guests and what a better way to do it then with English Muffins? I know, it's not really an English recipe but I thought it was funny play along. The recipe is simple to make and you will surprise your guests when you tell them that their homemade.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup non-fat powdered milk 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup hot water 1 envelope dry yeast 1/8 teaspoon sugar 1/3 cup warm water 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted Non-stick vegetable spray 3-inch metal rings (tuna cans with tops and bottoms removed and cleaned works well to)

Directions:

  1. In a bowl combine the powdered milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and hot water, stir to combine.

  2. In a separate bowl combine the yeast and 1/8 teaspoon of sugar in 1/3 cup of warm water and rest until yeast has dissolved, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add this to the dry milk mixture. Add the sifted flour and beat thoroughly with wooden spoon. Cover the bowl and let it rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes.

  4. Preheat your stove-top to medium high heat and place a medium-sized pan on the burner. The flatter your pan, the easier it will be to cook.

  5. Place your metal rings onto the stove-top and coat lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each ring with your batter and cover it with a lid to lock in the moisture, cook for 5 to 6 minutes.

  6. Remove the lid and flip rings using tongs. Cover with the lid and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes. Place on a wire cooling rack and remove rings.

For some variations, you could fill it with your favorite jam, butter, or whatever you would normally serve with your English muffins. Another great idea would be to add some cinnamon and raisins to your dough as well to give your house a nice aroma when you toast them. Cheers, mates.
