Ingredients
- 1 cup active sourdough starter

- 2 cups milk
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions
- The night before, mix sourdough starter, honey, milk, and flour in a bowl. Cover tightly and let it ferment at room temperature for 8–10 hours.
- The next morning, stir in baking soda and salt; add an additional cup of flour. Knead until smooth (5 minutes with a stand mixer or 10 minutes by hand) and let rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick, cut into circles with a round cutter, place on a greased baking sheet dusted with cornmeal, and let rise for about one hour.
- Preheat griddle over medium-low heat (325°F). Cook muffins for 5–6 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 190°F.
