Description

Soft, chewy, and slightly crispy English Muffins perfect for breakfast or snacks. Great when toasted and topped with butter or jam.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk (110°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Cornmeal, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter and the yeast mixture.
  3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass.
  6. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal and place the muffins on it. Sprinkle more cornmeal on top. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook muffins for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let cool slightly before splitting and toasting. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a thermometer to ensure milk is not too hot for yeast.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For best texture, toast before serving.
