English Muffins are a traditional British Breakfast and have been popular for over a hundred years. They are easy to make and can be toasted and served with butter or a variety of toppings like jams, marmalade, honey or peanut butter. Additionally, they can be used as a base for Eggs Benedict, a classic breakfast dish. The combination of a crispy exterior and a soft interior makes them a popular breakfast item as they can be eaten as is or topped with any filling of choice. Homemade English Muffins are much superior in taste and texture compared to store-bought ones.

1.	In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
2.	Add sugar, salt, oil, and 2 cups flour, beat until smooth.
3.	Gradually stir in remaining flour to form a soft dough.

5.	Sprinkle some cornmeal on top of the dough and roll it out to 1/4 inch thickness.
6.	Cut out rounds using a 3-inch biscuit cutter and place on greased baking sheets.
7.	Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
8.	Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C)
