Prepare the yeast mixture by combining warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix together the flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center and add melted butter and yeast mixture. Stir until shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.

Punch down the dough, roll out to ½ inch thick, cut circles, and let rise again for 30 minutes.

Cook muffins on a preheated skillet over low to medium-low heat for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown.
