Method
Combining Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your active sourdough starter, warm milk, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until fully combined.
Preparing the Dough
- Gradually add salt and flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Begin with 3 cups and add more if necessary.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough just until smooth and elastic. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
First Rise
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Shaping the Muffins
- Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1-inch thick.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles of dough, and place them on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Sprinkle more cornmeal on top to prevent sticking.
Second Rise
- Cover the muffins with a towel and let them rise for about 1 hour.
Cooking the Muffins
- Heat a griddle or skillet over low heat. Cook the muffins for about 7-10 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
- Let the muffins cool on a rack. Slice them horizontally and toast before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month. To reheat, use a toaster or skillet on low until warm.
