Add water, powdered milk (and water for powdered milk), honey and salt to a mixing bowl. Combine. Add 2 cups of flour and yeast and stir until combined. Cover with a clean towel and allow to rise for one hour. Add remaining 2 cups of flour and oil and stir until well combined. Roll out onto a cornmeal covered surface and using a cookie cutter or cup, cut out round shapes, 1/2 inch thick. Let cut muffins rise till double, covered, for about another hour. Heat a griddle to medium high heat 350 degrees and grease with a little oil or butter. Grill muffins on both sides until lightly brown and cooked in the middle. Eat!
