4 tbsp Butter, salted,
1.5 cup Whole Wheat Flour
2 cup Organic All-Purpose White Flour

Here is how you make Portuguese Muffins (Bolos):

*If you choose not to use the potato flour, reduce the milk by 1 tablespoon. You can also use instant mashed potatoes.Scald the milk (heat it just till small bubbles form), then pour it over the butter. Set the mixture aside to cool to lukewarm.In a large bowl, or in the bowl of an electric mixer, combine all of the dry ingredients, whisking thoroughly. (This prevents the potato flour from lumping). Add the remaining ingredients, mixing to form a workable dough. Knead the dough till it's smooth; this should be a soft (though not sticky) dough. Place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for about 90 minutes; it'll become quite puffy.Punch down dough and roll out to about 1/2" thick. Cut with a 3" diameter circle cutter (I use an clean empty can from Costco chicken breast)Place the muffins on a towel covered baking sheet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between them. Cover with a second towel. Let them rise for 45 minutes, or until they’re about 3/4-inch thick.Bake the muffins on a preheated 275°F griddle for 3 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Turn the muffins over and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Test to make sure the muffins are done; they’ll be golden brown on the top and bottom, with paler sides. Remove them from the griddle, and cool on wire racks, or on tea towels. Makes 10 Bolos, or muffins. 10 servings.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BAJAGRAMMA.
