- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup raisins

## Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and 1 tbsp of brown sugar. Let stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add warm whole milk, melted butter, all-purpose flour, salt, the remaining 2 tbsp of brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins to the bowl.
3. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently work with your hands to bring the dough together and form a dough ball without kneading.
5. Lightly oil the same large mixing bowl, transfer the dough back into it, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
6. Sprinkle flour on a wooden board.
7. Transfer the risen dough onto the floured surface.
8. Sprinkle the dough with more flour.
9. Divide the dough into 8-9 equal pieces using a dough cutter.
10. Lightly flour your hands and each section of dough as you fold and pinch it into a secure ball.
11. Arrange the shaped dough pieces on a lined baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap to let rise for another 30 minutes.
12. Sprinkle the dough pieces with corn meal.
13. Place a lightly greased cast iron skillet over medium heat.
14. Dip each side of the dough ball into a bowl of corn meal before pan-frying for 1-2 minutes per side until a golden brown crust forms.
15. Bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to ensure they are cooked all the way through.
16. Toast the English muffins and serve with butter or cream cheese.
