Re: Susan Hermosillo/ISO specific English muffin recipe
I don't think this was ever on Bread Bakers but it sounds like what
you are looking for. Found in my files but never made.

English Muffins
Alton Brown
1/2 cup non-fat powdered milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup hot water
1 envelope dry yeast
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup warm water
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
Non-stick vegetable spray
Special equipment: electric griddle, 3-inch metal rings
In a bowl combine the powdered milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2
teaspoon of salt, shortening, and hot water, stir until the sugar and
salt are dissolved. Let cool. In a separate bowl combine the yeast and
1/8 teaspoon of sugar in 1/3 cup of warm water and rest until yeast
has dissolved. Add this to the dry milk mixture. Add the sifted flour
and beat thoroughly with wooden spoon. Cover the bowl and let it rest
in a warm spot for 30 minutes. Preheat the griddle to 300 degrees F.
Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt to mixture and beat
thoroughly. Place metal rings onto the griddle and coat lightly with
vegetable spray. Using #20 ice cream scoop, place 2 scoops into each
ring and cover with a pot lid or cookie sheet and cook for 5 to 6
minutes. Remove the lid and flip rings using tongs. Cover with the lid
and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a
cooling rack, remove rings and cool. Split with fork and serve.
