 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 3/4                To 3 1/4 cups all-purpose
                       -flour
  1       pk           Instant dry yeast
  1       tb           Sugar
  1       t            Salt
  1 1/4   c             -- Warm water
  2       tb           Shortening
                       Cornmeal

 Oven is not needed.  Use pan or electric griddle
 heated to 325 F.

 In large mixer bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups flour, yeast,
 sugar and salt; mix well.  Add warm water (125 F. or
 so) and oil to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until
 moistened.  Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand,
 gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a
 firm dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and
 elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl,
 turning to grease top.  Cover and allow to rise in a
 warm place until double, about 45 minutes.  Punch down
 dough.

 On surface sprinkled with cornmeal, roll dough into
 1/4" thickness. With biscuit or cookie cutter, cut
 into 3 to 4" circles.  Place muffins on ungreased
 cookie sheets.  Cover and allow to rise at room
 temperature until double, about 30 minutes.

 Bake on lightly oiled electric griddle or fry pan at
 325 F. for about 8 minutes on each side, until deep
 golden brown.

 Yield: About 12 muffins.
