Recipe for Raised Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 pint sweet milk
- 1 tsp. melted butter
- 2 eggs well-beaten
- 1/2 cup yeast
- 1 tsp. salt
- Saleratus size of pea dissolved in 1 tbsp. hot water
- 1 tbsp. sugar
Instructions
Stir in enough sifted wheat flour to make a thick batter about the consistency of pound cake. Set to rise in a warm place for three hours in warm weather, longer in winter, or it may be mixed at night for breakfast. Butter a griddle and the inside of the muffin rings thoroughly. Set the rings on the griddle and half fill them with the batter. When one side is done turn the muffin, ring and all and bake a delicate brown. As they are done tear open, put a bit of butter in each and keep warm until served. Muffins should never be cut. Cold muffins may be toasted and served hot.
