1 cup warm milk (not hot)
1 tablespoon dry yeast

2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg

Stir down the batter and fill buttered muffin pans a little more than half full. Let rise in a warm place until the pans are full (about 30 to 45 minutes). Bake 15 to 20 minutes at 400° F. Makes 8 to 12 rolls.


Grilled Muffins. Put buttered muffin rings on a hot greased griddle. Fill half full with the mixture and cook slowly until well risen and browned underneath. Turn the muffins and rings over and brown the muffins on the other side. Watch carefully and adjust the heat so the muffins do not brown too quickly.

Crumpets. Omit the sugar and egg and increase the butter to 1/2 cup. Cook like Grilled muffins (above).
