    Makes about 8 muffins.

    **Ingredients:**

    272g (~1 1/4 cups) sourdough discard

    272g (2 scant cups) AP Flour

    1 tsp instant yeast

    7g (1 1/2 tsp) salt

    14g (2 tsp) white sugar

    21g (1 1/2 Tbsp) melted butter

    170g (3/4 cup) milk

    Cornmeal or semolina for dusting

    **Method:**
    **Mix the dough.** Place all ingredients in a large bowl and stir vigorously for about 1 minute. The dough will be too soft to knead.

    **Rise ~1 hour.** Cover and let rise for about 1 hour, until puffy, but not fragile.

    **Divide.** Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and divide into eight or nine equal pieces.

    **Shape.** Shape each piece into a 3 1/2” flattened round. Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly dust it with semolina or cornmeal. If you have English Muffin rings, grease them, but they’re not necessary and who tf has those?

    **Proof.** Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet and dust the tops with semolina or cornmeal. Cover and proof for 30-60 minutes.

    **Preheat.** While the muffins are proofing, preheat a griddle to 300°F (180°C). (I am sure you can cook these on a stovetop in a nonstick skillet.)

    **Cook.** Cook the muffins in their rings (if using) for 8-10 minutes per side, until browned, but not burned. Adjust heat as necessary.

    **Cool.** Cool the muffins completely before serving.

    **Enjoy.** Enjoy the bread of your labor.
