In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and non-fat dry milk powder.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, melted unsalted butter, and honey. Ensure the honey is fully dissolved.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir well with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough, and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out circles about 3 inches in diameter. Re-roll scraps and repeat until all dough is used.
Sprinkle a generous amount of cornmeal on a baking sheet and place the cut muffins on top. Sprinkle additional cornmeal on top of the muffins.
Cover with a damp cloth and let them rest for another 20 minutes.
Preheat a griddle or a large frying pan over low heat. Lightly grease the pan with a non-stick spray or a small amount of unsalted butter.
Cook the muffins for about 7-10 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and have a firm crust.
Remove from the pan and let them cool on a wire rack. Split open with a fork and toast if desired before serving.
