Breakfast muffins

---

This is a recipe to make English muffins that are similar to crumpets. It's not a recipe for those horrid gooey sweet things!

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon dried active yeast
• 300 g (11 oz) strong white flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 25 g (1 oz) butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 medium egg, beaten
• 150 ml water - or by weight instead of volume, 150 g water

Method

1. Add all of the ingredients to your breadmaker and set to a long (2.5 hour) dough program
2. Knead lightly and roll out to 6 mm (1/4") thick
3. Cut out 8 cm (3") discs
4. Cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place until doubled in size
5. Bake at 320° C (450° F - gas 8) for 10 minutes
6. The muffins should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom with a knife

Serving suggestions

Toast lightly, butter and serve immediately
