English Muffins
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 cups flour (I used 1/2 white 1/2 whole wheat)
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 3 Tbs. softened butter
- Cornmeal
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. 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.
These taste so much better than store bought muffins and are easy to make!

Toni, I’m going to give this a try! Have you ever tried freezing them? It seems like this would be a perfect candidate for a couple giant batches!

Love your blog (sooo glad that I recently found it!). I have a question: I’d love love love to make these homemade english muffins but I don’t have a griddle. Can I make them in the oven?

Do you have a frying pan, if so you could make them on the stove top. Not sure about the oven though.

Yum! I’d been making mine in loaves as English Muffin Bread, but I like the rounds so much better! Will switch over to your method this weekend.
P.S. Love the magicalcapris on your header. ;o)

Thank you so much for joining the October Fest Carnival of Super Foods! Sorry I stalked you so bad for this recipe
but we LOVE them at our house. This week is the last week, and the theme is Healthy Fats. See you then!
re: Trina – we have frozen them and they come out as great as they went in. I’ve also pushed it to 3/4 whole wheat w/ no problem.
