                     I love English Muffins, especially the nooks and crannies that soak up butter and jam.  Enjoy.  Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 tablespoons dry yeast  |  
                                                3 cups warm water  |  
                                                2 tablespoons sugar  |  
                                                1 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/2 cup dry milk  |  
                                                6 tablespoons vegetable oil  |  
                                                2 cups whole wheat flour  |  
                                                2 cups cracked wheat flour  |  
                                                4 cups unbleached white flour  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water. 2. Add the sugar, salt and dry milk and blend. 3. Add half the flour and whisk for 1 minute. 4. Set the mixture aside for 1 hour, or until the sponge falls back on itself. 5. Beat in the oil. 6. Add the remaining flour and mix well. 7. Add extra flour if necessary to make a fairly stiff dough. 8. With floured hands cut out about 20 four oz pieces of dough and form them into 3  patties. 9. Place the patties on a greased cookie sheet and let rise about half an hour, or until they are doubled in bulk. 10. Preheat griddle to 325 to 350 F and cook approximately 7 minutes per side.                              |
