English Muffins

225g (8oz) Flour
140ml (¼ pint) Buttermilk
55g (2oz) Butter, melted
1 Egg
2 tbsp Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl, add the sugar.
Mix in the lightly beaten egg, milk and melted butter together in a separate bowl.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour quickly and lightly, to produce a soft dough.
Do not overwork the dough, ignoring any lumps.
Using floured hands divide the dough into eight pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball and flatten to a thickness of 1 cm (½ inch).
Lightly grease the griddle (or baking tray).
Cook on both sides until lightly browned, (use crumpet rings if required).
