-----KAY BURGER XWSF96A-----
1/2 c Shortening
4 ts Salt
2 ts Sugar
2 c Boiling water
2 pk Active yeast
5 c Flour

Put shortening, salt and sugar in large bowl. Pour
boiling water over all and stir until shortening
melts. Let cool to lukewarm. Sprinkle yeast over this;
stir to dissolve; let stand until mixture begins to
bubble. Add flour and beat.
Roll out on floured board to about 3/8-inch
thickness. Cut with round cutter, I use clean, empty
tuna can. Sprinkle cookie sheets with cornmeal. Set
muffins on these, fairly far apart. Let rise to double
in bulk. Set griddle or electric frypan to 350~.
Sprinkle with cornmeal. Put muffins, rounded side
down, on griddle and bake 7 minutes. Turn and bake 7
minutes on the other side. Split with fork, and toast
or spread with butter and put under broiler until
butter bubbles.
These muffins freeze successfully. They should be
split with fork before freezing. The recipe may be
doubled when preparing muffins for the freezer. When I
make these, I make 5 or 6 recipes!!!!

They are even better than Wolfermans!!! I could
eat these till I pop!!!! Yum!
