Auntie’s Griddle Cakes Muffins, Cream. — Mix together well the yolk of one egg, two table- spoonfuls of sugar, one cupful of milk, and one-half cupful of melted butter. Sift in a little flour with two teaspoon- fuls of baking-powder, and the white of an egg beaten to a stiff froth. Add enough sifted flour to make a thick batter. Bake in muffin-tins in a hot oven. Muffins, English. — Stir into three cups of warm (not hot) milk a half- teaspoonful of salt, one and a half teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar, and two table-spoonfuls of melted butter. In this warm mixture dis- solve half a yeast cake. Last of all, stir in a quart of flour, then add as much more flour as is needed to make a very soft dough. Beat hard for five minutes, and set in a warm place to rise. At the end of six hours turn the dough upon a floured pastry- board, and with a sharp knife cut off pieces about half as large as the or- dinary English muffin. With floured hands form the pieces of dough quick- ly and lightly into round muffins, patting them into the proper shape. Lay these gently upon a heated soap- stone griddle, and let them bake slowly until double their original size. When browned on one side, turn and bake upon the other. They will take about twenty-five minutes to bake. Muffins, Graham. — Stir together in a deep bowl four eggs, and turn upon them a quart of lukewarm milk, two table-spoonfuls of melted butter, and a teaspoonful of sugar.
