Wonderful English Muffins

When I was growing up on a farm, my mom always seemed to be making homemade bread...nothing tasted so good! Now I like to make these simple yet delicious muffins for my own family.

12 ServingsPrep: 30 min. + rising Cook: 25 min.

Ingredients

1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 to 3-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Cornmeal

Directions

Scald milk in a saucepan; add butter, sugar and salt. Stir until
butter melts; cool to lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in
warm water; add to milk mixture. Stir in all-purpose flour and 1 cup
whole wheat flour until smooth. Add sesame seeds, poppy seeds and
enough remaining whole wheat flour to make a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Roll to 1/3-in. thickness on a cornmeal-covered
surface. Cut into circles with a 3-1/2-in. or 4-in. cutter; cover
with a towel and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
Place muffins, cornmeal side down, in a greased skillet; cook over
