Instructions
For Grilled Kodiak Cake Cornmeal English Muffins

- Combine the Hot water, Powdered Milk, 1 T Sugar, Salt, and Shortening. Whisk until combined, and let cool.
- In a small bowl combine the warm water, pinch of sugar, and yeast. Allow yeast to bloom about 3-4 minutes then add it to the Powdered Milk mix.

- Place Ring molds on the griddle and Spray well with Nonstick Spray.
- Very gently stir the dough once, then add a scoop to each ring mold. Molds should be about 1/3 full.
- Spray a cookie sheet with non stick spray and place over the tops of the ring molds. Let cook 3-4 minutes and flip muffins keeping them in their molds.
- Use a pastry brush to brush a layer of simple syrup over each muffin. Flip muffins again to brush Simple syrup over the other side and return to the griddle. Cook, uncovered, for an additional 2-3 minutes. ( both sides should have a caramelized layer of simple syrup and be a shiny caramel color.)
