Homemade English Muffins

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Cornmeal, for dusting
2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions:

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda.
Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out muffins.
Sprinkle cornmeal on a baking sheet and place the cut muffins on top. Dust the tops with more cornmeal and cover them with a cloth. Let them rise for about 30-45 minutes.
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. You may need to cook them in batches.
If desired, brush the warm muffins with melted butter before serving.
Total Time: About 3 hours (including rising)
Servings: About 12 muffins

I made egg rolls today. Not only that they’re delicious, it is easy and cheap. Here’s what you’ll need to make 25 egg rolls: Cost about $10.00
1 lb of ground beef/pork/chicken/turkey
1 lb shredded carrots
1/2 of a small cabbage- shredded
1 - 12 oz pkg of bean sprouts
1/2 onion
2 tbspn of soy sauce
2 tbspn of cooking oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pkg of egg roll wrappers ( 25 sheets)
2 eggs - as a binding agent
Sauté the onion until clear, add the meat; stir until done. Add the carrots, bean sprouts, cabbage and soy sauce and cover for a few minutes. Add the 2 eggs and stop the cooking process by turning the burner off. You don’t want to overcook the veggies. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drain and allow to cool.
Put about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture to each wrapper. Fry in high heat. Serve with sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy!! 😋😋
