How to make english muffins:

In large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups flour, salt, sugar and yeast; mix well. Add the warm water and shortening. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed on mixer. By hand, gradually add remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured board until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl; cover and let rise until double. Punch down dough and roll out on lightly sprinkled cornmeal board. Cut into 3 or 4-inch circles. Cover; let rise until dough, about 30 minutes. Bake on lightly oiled griddle or frypan at 325° for about 8 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Makes 12 to 14.
