I recently found this YouTube channel – Kitchen In the Shire, starring Renee!
Renee has some pretty terrific baking and cooking ideas and recipes, and this is one of them. I can attest to it, because I made these English muffins yesterday. They exceeded all expectations, and are at least ten times better than anything you can buy at the store.
I never made English muffins before yesterday afternoon.
I followed her instructions almost exactly, with two exceptions: I used bread flour instead of all-purpose flour, because I was low on the AP, and I used SAF brand Instant Gold package yeast, which is meant for use in enriched doughs (with sugar, eggs, milk etc.). As an aside, I bought this yeast (one pound bag) several years ago and keep it in the freezer. It is still very active!
IMPORTANT: I weighed my flour. If I measure, I have a tendency to use too much.
The Panamanian government seized two ports at the entrances of the Panama Canal on Monday according to a Hong Kong-based company that has operated them for decades, a move triggered by a final Supreme Court ruling that declared the company’s concession unconstitutional.
Panama annulled key port contracts held by a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison in its official gazette Monday, transferring interim operations of the ports to Danish shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk and Swiss-based Mediterranean Shipping Co.
The notice formalized a Supreme Court ruling last month that the concessions for the Balboa and Cristobal terminals near the Panama Canal, which Panama Port Company (PPC), a subsidiary of CK Hutchison, had held for more than two decades, were unconstitutional.
