The internet is full of conversion tables that will do the calculations for you.

I'm a bit puzzled. English muffins are an American food. I've never met a Brit who knows what they are. The closest thing they've got is crumpets, and they aren't quite the same.

The english lady who has the recipe says that they just call them muffins.. for some reason we call them english muffins...

Go here http://www.convertall.bellz.org/index.html and download that little app. It's *THE* best one I've found since I've started with computers since 1993. It will convert almost anything imaginable to whatever else you want...pounds to stones, ounces to grams, etc. It's extremely easy to use and even works on Windows (I use Linux but it's been ported to windows for you M$ windows users).

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup non-fat powdered milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon shortening
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 envelope dry yeast
• 1/8 teaspoon sugar
• 1/3 cup warm water
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• Non-stick vegetable spray
• Special equipment: electric griddle, 3-inch metal rings, see Cook's Note*

Directions

In a bowl combine the powdered milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, shortening, and hot water, stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Let cool. In a separate bowl combine the yeast and 1/8 teaspoon of sugar in 1/3 cup of warm water and rest until yeast has dissolved. Add this to the dry milk mixture. Add the sifted flour and beat thoroughly with wooden spoon. Cover the bowl and let it rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
Preheat the griddle to 300 degrees F.
Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt to mixture and beat thoroughly. Place metal rings onto the griddle and coat lightly with vegetable spray. Using #20 ice cream scoop, place 2 scoops into each ring and cover with a pot lid or cookie sheet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the lid and flip rings using tongs. Cover with the lid and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a cooling rack, remove rings and cool. Split with fork and serve.
*Cook's Note: Small tuna cans with tops and bottoms removed work well for metal rings.

Fascinating reading this recipe as I come from a family that makes English Muffins - Newly Weds Foods, Chicago. I remember when we first moved back to Chicago in 1960 that my Dad started bringing home sample runs of the muffins, they were heavy and pretty bad. But over time they figured out the right technique and really got it down. Anytime I go home and visit The Plant my uncle always makes sure I get to see the line and get a case of muffins right off the line to share with my Mom, they are so different right off the line...
