Prep Time:
Cook time:
Serves: 8 muffins
==Description==
These freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave or toasted.
==Ingredients==
* 1 cup water
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 1 egg
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 3¼ cups all-purpose flour (or more)
* 1½ teaspoons dry yeast
* corn meal (not corn starch)
==Directions==
# Put ingredients in the machine in the order listed.
# Start the dough cycle.
# When the cycle is finished (the dough should be soft but not sticky).
# Sprinkle corn meal over your work area.
# Use your hands to pat the dough into a ½ inch thick rectangle.
# Turn the dough so that each side gets lightly coated with cornmeal.
# Cut into 8 rounds (a large scone cutter or a large can works well) 
# When you run out of dough gather up the trimmings and cut more rounds. Place the rounds on a baking sheet, cover and let rise for 20- 30 minutes--until not quite double. 
# Heat a dry cast iron skillet or griddle over a low flame (can use some non stick spay).
# Cook the muffins about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
# They should be golden brown when you turn them.
# Split the muffins with a fork or serrated knife and serve warm.
== Notes ==
Instead of using cutter divide it into eight equal pieces and pat each piece into a ½" thick round. Then, turn each round in dish of corn meal.
