These homemade English Muffins taste so much better than store bought muffins and are easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups flour (I used 1/2 white 1/2 whole wheat)
- 2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 3 tablespoon softened butter
- Cornmeal
Instructions
- Mix together water, milk, honey and salt.
- Add 2 cups of flour and the yeast.
- Mix until you have a loose batter.
- Cover the mixture and let rise for about 1 hour. It will look like this after an hour.
- Add the butter and the remainder of the flour and mix.
- Roll out dough on a surface sprinkled with cornmeal to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into circles.
- Let rise until doubled.
- Cook on a hot (about 350 degrees), well buttered griddle until they are light brown.
- Turn once while cooking.
- Cool and eat… or eat while hot, I cut them in half but you can also pry them open with a fork.
Still have a question on the english muffins….. mine are heavy and not many air holes. Is this typical? Would love an answer if you have time
Like Deb, I’m wondering if these come out nice and airy? I miss good English muffins….the ones in England taste right, but are the texture Deb described, which I’m not a fan of. I was some which are full of holes to go all crunchy in the toaster!
