Then gradually add the flour beating vigorously after each addition,until the mixture is smooth and the dough begins to leave the wooden spoon [about 5 or six minutes]

Cover with a clean dry towel place over a pan of hot water[ not boiling ] and let rise until doubled.

Then knock the dough down with your hands and let rise until doubled in bulk

Place spoonful of dough in each generously greased muffin pan slightly warmed.

Work quickly so not to release bubbles and handle as little as possible .

Place muffin pans in a warm area away from drafts and allow to rise again or until the dough fills the pans.

Bake in a hot oven as directed.
