Heat milk and butter until the milk has warmed and the butter is melted.
Combine the milk and butter mixture with the egg and sifted dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. This can be done in a stand mixer or by hand with a lot of upper body strength.
When dough comes together and is damp and velvety, transfer it to a floured surface. Roll out dough to a 1 inch thickness.
Use an English muffin ring or a large canning jar lid to cut out rounds. Transfer to a baking sheet which has been dusted with cornmeal.
Dust the tops of the muffins with cornmeal. Continue to cut out muffins, re-rolling dough as needed.
Cover muffins with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Use a cast iron skillet on low heat and cook muffins about 3-5 minutes on each side, until brown and crispy.
Transfer muffins to the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes so that they continue to dry out.
Slice muffins across and toast before serving.
They can be kept for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
