Raised Muffins 1 cup scalded milk 1 cup boiling water 2 tablespoons butter ¼ cup sugar ¾ teaspoon salt ¼ yeast cake 1 egg 4 cups flour Add butter, sugar, and salt to milk and water; when lukewarm, add yeast cake, and when dissolved, egg well beaten, and flour; beat thoroughly, cover, and let rise over night. In morning, fill buttered muffin rings two-thirds full; let rise until rings are full, and bake thirty minutes in hot oven. Grilled Muffins Put buttered muffin rings on a hot greased griddle. Fill one-half full with raised muffin mixture, and cook slowly until well risen and browned underneath; turn muffins and rings and brown the other side. This is a convenient way of cooking muffins when oven is not in condition for baking. Raised Hominy Muffins
