English Raisin Muffins
by Tony van Roon

Makes about 10 muffins:

1 package dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup raisins
3 cups unbleached white flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal

o  In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water.  Add the salt, honey, oil, 
   raisins, and the flour and stir until smooth.

o  On a floured surface roll out the dough and cut into 3-1/2 inch circles.  Use 
   a cookie cutter, or whatever you have handy.

o  Heat a griddle; transfer muffins onto griddle and cook over the burner of the 
   stove for about 7 minutes on each side.  Keep the flame low so the muffins 
   won't scorch.

o  Cool, split and toast or warm with butter and comb honey.
