Steps:

• In a small bowl combine yeast and 1/3 cup warm water (80 milliliters) and let rest until yeast has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter and put it in a large bowl. Whisk in yogurt, milk, honey, salt and the yeast mixture.
• Add flours and baking soda to bowl and beat thoroughly with a spoon or rubber spatula until well combined. Cover bowl and let rest in a warm spot for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until dough has doubled.
• Heat oven 350 degrees. Lightly dust a small baking sheet with cornmeal.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Using a large ice cream scoop or 1/2 cup measuring cup, drop batter into skillet to form round muffins about 4 inches in diameter, mounding the batter in the center. (You may need to coax the dough a little with your fingers, so be careful of the hot pan, and don't worry if they're not perfectly circular.) Repeat until you have 3 muffins, leaving the rest of the batter for a second batch. Reduce heat to low. Cover skillet with lid or baking sheet and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until bottoms are golden brown. (Be careful not to let them burn.)
• Uncover skillet and flip muffins using a spatula. Cover again and cook 2 to 4 minutes or until the other sides are golden brown. Place muffins on prepared baking sheet. Repeat using remaining batter and another tablespoon of butter.
• Bake muffins for 6 to 9 minutes, or until puffed and cooked through. Split the muffins with a fork and toast before eating.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done.

Steps:

• The morning before you want to enjoy your English muffins, prepare your dough: In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together starter, water, honey and oil.
• Select a container or bowl that will hold at least 3 quarts, as this dough will grow 3 to 4 times in size. Add the flour and salt to it, making a well in the center. Pour the liquid mixture into the well and stir with your hands, clawing the mixture and flipping it occasionally until no flour streaks remain, and you are left with a dense, shaggy, wet ball. Scrape the bowl as needed to integrate sneaky flour pockets.
• Cover loosely with a lid or inverted plate. Tuck in a warm, draft-free place and allow it to nearly quadruple in volume over the next 8 to 12 hours.
• Dust a work surface heavily with flour. Prepare a large baking sheet by coating it with a light dusting of polenta, followed by a dusting of flour.
• Deflate the dough by scraping it down in the bowl with a spatula. Transfer the dough to the dusted work surface. (Do not dust the surface of your dough, as you want it to stick to itself.) Using a bowl scraper, bench knife or lightly floured hands, pick up the dough from underneath, stretch and fold it like a business letter: bottom third up to the middle, top third down. Using the bowl scraper, flip your dough onto the prepared baking sheet so the folded side is now the underside.
• Lightly flour the top surface of your dough, then grease a rolling pin with neutral oil and roll your dough out to 1/2-inch thick, using additional oil on the pin if the dough begins to stick.
• Press a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface and tuck it around the edges of the dough to prevent it from drying out. Refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight for a more pronounced sour flavor.
• When ready to cook, heat your largest cast-iron pan over medium-low and lightly grease with neutral oil.
• Remove dough from the fridge, peel away plastic, lightly flour the surface of the dough and gently brush the flour to distribute evenly. Using a greased 4-inch ring cutter (or the ring top of a large Mason jar), cut the dough into muffins.
• Place as many muffins as you can fit along the edges of your cast-iron pan (avoiding the hot center of the pan), puffy-side up. In between batches, refrigerate any muffins you are not cooking.
• Cook undisturbed, for 6 to 8 minutes or until visibly puffed and matte like a very fluffy pancake. Once they are visibly golden on the bottom - you can take a peek - flip them and lightly press so they make full contact with the pan, then continue to cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until golden. It helps to give them a gentle 180-degree turn midway through cooking.
• Transfer cooked, hot muffins to a large plastic freezer bag or sealed container and seal to steam a bit to finish. (Steaming helps make the outer crust soft and chewy.)
• Wipe the pan dry and re-grease lightly as before. Continue cooking, transferring finished muffins to the plastic bag.
• When fully cool, about 1 hour, remove muffins and pierce each around the middle with a fork to perforate. When ready to eat, peel muffins apart, toast and slather with butter. Store remaining muffins in a separate bag or resealable container in the refrigerator. These are best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days, then toasted.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 24 cups of a regular-size muffin pan with 24 paper cupcake liners; set aside.
• 2. Combine flour, brown sugar, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg; set aside.
• 3. Combine apples, raisins, walnuts, eggs, butter, cream cheese, and vanilla. Stir apple mixture into the dry ingredients, adding a little at a time, and stir until just combined (batter will be stiff). Do not over-mix.
• 4. Put equal portions of the batter into 24 paper-lined muffin cups about 2/3 full.
• 5. Combing all of the topping ingredients and mix well. Sprinkle topping over the batter.
• 6. Bake at 375° for 20 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely on wire racks. (Makes 2 dozen muffins)

Steps:

• For the topping, in a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. Add butter or margarine and mix with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Put aside while preparing muffin batter.
• For the muffins, in large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
• In another bowl, combine mashed bananas, sugar, slightly beaten egg and melted butter or margarine. Mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
• Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. (Do not use paper muffin cups!) Using hands, arrange coarse, pea-sized crumbs over muffin batter.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until muffins test done with a cake tester. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
