Whole Wheat Yeast Muffins

DIRECTIONS

• In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water and let sit 5 to 10 minutes to soften.
• Meanwhile, scald the milk. Remove from heat and add butter, honey and salt. Cool to lukewarm.
• Add the cooled milk mixture and beaten egg to the dissolved yeast, blending well.
• Add 1 cup flour, and the whole wheat flour (starting with 1 1/2 cups) and adding enough to make a spongy, pancake-like batter. Stir smooth.
• Cover and let rise until doubled - about 30 minutes.
• Stir down the batter and spoon into 12-16 muffin cups coated with cooking spray.
• Cover, and let rise again for 25 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400*. Bake muffins @ 400* for 25 minutes, or until golden. Let cool 5 minutes, then brush with melted butter.
