Bread Sponge Muffins

Oven, in the book's wordsA hot oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Set sponge the evening before as for water bread.

  2. Mix warm water, yeast, and salt to create a batter thicker than pancake batter.

  3. Beat the mixture thoroughly.

  4. In the morning, without stirring, dip the batter into greased gem pans.

  5. Let rise for at least 30 minutes.

  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until brown.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
