HOMEMADE ENGLISH MUFFINS

2 tablespoons dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
1 cup hot water
1/4 to 1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs, beaten
6 cups flour
Cornmeal (for rolling dough)

Dissolve the yeast in the 1 cup lukewarm water; let sit 5 minutes, until bubbly.

Mix together the 1 cup hot water, honey, oil, and salt until the honey is completely dissolved. Add the eggs; stir well. Add the yeast mixture. Add the flour and mix together well. Refrigerate dough until chilled, may refrigerate overnight.

Roll out the chilled dough to 1/2-inch thick on a board that has been sprinkled with cornmeal. Cut into 3-inch rounds. Repeat rolling and cutting scraps. Let rise 20-30 minutes.

Transfer the muffins with a spatula to a hot ungreased griddle. Cook over medium to high heat 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
