I have been using this recipe for a long time now. Everybody in my family loves it for their breakfast. They are absolutely brilliant in taste and can be had with jam, creamed cheese or orange butter. Though I have tried other variations of muffins before, this recipe is my favorite. This is one of those foods that fills your stomach quickly and provides you lots of energy. In fact, this food is rich in carbs and protein. Therefore, those people who are into bodybuilding and weight training can benefit a lot from it. I love trying this recipe regularly.

• Set aside the saucepan for a few minutes. Take a small bowl and dissolve some yeast in it. Set it aside for about 10 minutes or until a creamy layer is formed.
• Now take a large bowl and add 3 cups of flour, yeast mixture and milk in it. Combine all the ingredients until a smooth mixture is formed. Then add the remaining flour and salt to form soft dough. After kneading place the dough in a greased bowl and allow it to rise.
• Now punch down and form rolls of 1/2 –inch thickness. Take a biscuit cutter and cut rounds. Take a waxed paper and spray some cornmeal on it. Place the rolls over the waxed paper and allow them to rise. You can sprinkle some cornmeal over the muffins and cover them to rise.
• Take a greased griddle and heat it under medium flame. Now cook the muffins on the griddle for about 10 minutes on both sides. Then keep these muffins in a warm oven and allow them to cook further. Then allow the muffins to cool down before placing them in a plastic bag.
• Before serving the muffins, split them and toast. Now you can serve them with jam, creamed cheese or orange butter.
