We have just moved, so please forgive my delay in responding. I had to find the box the book was stored in. The recipe comes from Julia Child and Company and Julia's recipe in that book calls for 1/2 cup milk, so the measurement is not a typo. In her comments on the recipe Julia says, "Batter should be heavy, sticky, sluggish, but not runny, having just enough looseness to spread out into the ring - if you think it is too thick, beat in tepid water by driblets."Mary Bergfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234678984137982414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-65444210252237269082014-04-26T11:08:44.372-04:002014-04-26T11:08:44.372-04:00Thank you so much for posting this recipe.

I thought maybe I measured wrong, so I tried again. Nope, dough, not batter. So I googled Julia Child's English Muffins. I came across another website with a different variation of this recipe that calls for more liquid...,http://www.kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com/2011/04/rosie-makes-julia-childs-homemade.html.<br />Are you sure it's 1/2 C milk? Or is that a typo?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517916063542046979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-84832244344914342952012-02-23T18:05:32.185-05:002012-02-23T18:05:32.185-05:00I have received another anonymous comment from som...I have received another anonymous comment from someone who says this recipe does not work. First, this is an exact copy of Julia's recipe and it can be found on pages 166- 167 of Julia Child and Company. I've made these over and over again, most recently on Valentine's Day, so I know the recipe works. I would ask the anonymous writer to email me and together we can go through the steps of the recipe to see what might have gone wrong on their end. We do aim to please. Have a great day.

While I can't pretend to know what was in her mind, Julia used boiling water to dissolve the instant potatoes. I always assumed the cold milk was to get the potatoes to a temperature that would not kill the yeast. If the potatoes were allowed to cool, cold milk would be a problem and would retard the action of the yeast. So, if the potatoes are hot, use cold milk. If they are at room temperature use tepid milk. I've made these for years and I think you really like them. Have a great day.
