English Raisin Muffins
by Tony van Roon
Makes about 10 muffins:
1 package dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup raisins
3 cups unbleached white flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
o In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add the salt, honey, oil,
raisins, and the flour and stir until smooth.
o On a floured surface roll out the dough and cut into 3-1/2 inch circles. Use
a cookie cutter, or whatever you have handy.
o Heat a griddle; transfer muffins onto griddle and cook over the burner of the
stove for about 7 minutes on each side. Keep the flame low so the muffins
won't scorch.
o Cool, split and toast or warm with butter and comb honey.
