Submitted by Just Janie

"This is an adatation from a recipe I have had for years. It was originally from the Fleischmann's Yeast Cookbook. I have made it often and have finally adapted it to mixing it in a Bread Machine on the dough cycle. One pkg of dry yeast may be substututed for the 1 Tbs listed. It may not be necessary to 'proof' the yeast, but that's how I make these yummy, soft English Muffins. Toast & top with butter & jam - Perfection !"
