Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup amaranth flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, amaranth flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda.
  2. Add honey, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix well with a spoon or your hands to form a soft dough.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
  6. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the dough and place them on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
  7. Cover the muffins with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the muffins for about 6-8 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Once cooked, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  10. Split the muffins with a fork and toast them before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite toppings.
