Total Time:12 hours 23 minutes

Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Active Sourdough Starter
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 3 Cups Flour
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbsp Cornmeal For dusting

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add your milk, and sourdough starter, and mix until combined.
  • Next add your honey, and mix well.
  • Add flour and salt, and mix until a shaggy dough comes together, you may need to use your hands.
  • Once dough has started to come together, cover bowl and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes, or until the dough is nice and smooth.
  • Place back in your bowl and cover.
  • Let sit on the counter for 8 - 12 hours.
  • Once dough has proofed, turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.
  • With a rolling pin or fingers, gently press dough out flat until it is about an inch thick.
  • Using a 3 inch cookie cutter or in my case a mason jar ring, cut out rounds of dough until you have used all of the dough up.
  • Place rounds on a cookie sheet, and sprinkle tops lightly with cornmeal, cover and allow to rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Preheat pan on low, place rounds cornmeal side down in the pan evenly spaced apart- so that they are not touching.
  • Cover with lid, and cook for about 4 minutes, flip and cook for another 4 minutes. I like to use a thermometer to check the inside of the muffins; you want them to be between 190-200 degrees.
  • Once done, place on a cooling rack or serve right away!

Notes

Storing: They store very well, either on the counter in a sealed container for 5-7 days, or in the freezer in a sealed containter. Make sure they are completely cookied before placing them in the containers, to prevent moisture.
