Yeast Muffins

Ingredients

• 0.25 oz Active dry yeast (Equivalent to 1/4 of a standard yeast cake)
• 1 Egg (Large)
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Butter (Melted)
• 0.25 cup Sugar
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Milk (Warm)
• 0.5 cup Water (Warm)

Instructions

1. 1In a saucepan, combine the milk, water, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until lukewarm and the butter is melted. Do not boil.
2. 2Pour the lukewarm milk mixture into a large bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
3. 3Beat the egg well and add it to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, beating thoroughly after each addition, until a smooth dough forms.
4. 4Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place overnight (or for at least 6-8 hours).
5. 5Grease muffin tins or rings well with butter or cooking spray.
6. 6Fill the prepared muffin tins two-thirds full with the risen dough.
7. 7Let the filled muffin tins rise until the dough reaches the top of the tins, about 30-60 minutes.
8. 8Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. 9Heat a greased griddle over medium-low heat. Place the buttered muffin rings on the hot griddle. Fill one-half full with the raised muffin mixture. Cook slowly until well risen and browned underneath; turn muffins and rings and brown the other side.
