Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup mashed potatoes
- 1/3 cup milk
Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and nutmeg, blending them thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
-
Incorporate the butter into the dry mixture using either two knives or a pastry cutter until the texture resembles coarse meal, ensuring that the butter is evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
-
Next, take your leftover mashed potatoes and mash them until they achieve a smooth consistency, adding a comforting element to the muffins and ensuring each bite is filled with delightful potato goodness.
-
Integrate the mashed potatoes into the flour mixture, gently folding them in until they are fully incorporated, infusing the dough with their rich flavor and creating a harmonious blend of ingredients.
-
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk, gradually incorporating it into the dough with a light touch, ensuring not to overwork the mixture and maintaining the desired soft texture.
-
If necessary, adjust the consistency of the dough by adding more milk until it reaches the desired softness, ensuring that it is pliable and easy to work with for the next steps.
-
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until it becomes smooth and elastic, allowing the flavors to meld together and the texture to become uniform throughout.
-
Using a rolling pin, pat the dough to a thickness of approximately 1/2 inch or less, ensuring that it is evenly distributed to achieve consistent results in each muffin.
-
Using a 3-inch cookie cutter or any preferred tool for shaping, cut out rounds from the dough, creating uniform portions that will bake evenly on the griddle.
-
Dust your griddle with flour and heat it until the flour begins to brown slightly, indicating that it is ready for cooking, ensuring that the surface is prepared to achieve the perfect golden-brown finish on your muffins.
-
Carefully place the muffins on the griddle, cooking them over medium to medium-high heat until they are fully cooked through and boast a delightful golden-brown hue on each side, flipping them once to ensure even cooking.
-
Once cooked to perfection, serve the muffins hot, allowing your guests to indulge in their warm, fluffy goodness, and encourage them to top each muffin with their favorite spread or topping for a truly personalized culinary experience.
Enjoy your delectable Potato English Muffins, bursting with flavor and crafted with love! 🥔🍞✨
