Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature before rolling and cutting.

Can English muffins be frozen?

Absolutely! Freeze them after cooking and cool completely. Thaw and toast when ready to eat.

What if I don’t have a round cutter?

You can use any round object like a glass or an empty can, or simply cut into squares with a knife.

How do I get more nooks and crannies in my muffins?

The key is in the cooking method. Cook on a low heat and do not press down on the muffins while cooking.

English muffins are a staple in many households, offering a versatile base for a variety of toppings from sweet jams to hearty eggs Benedict. These golden-brown delights are characterized by their soft, airy interior and slightly crisp exterior, which come from cooking them on a griddle rather than baking in an oven.

The unique method of preparation allows the dough to develop a rich, tangy flavor, typical of traditional English muffins. Perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack, these muffins can be toasted to perfection, providing a warm, comforting treat that pairs wonderfully with your favorite spreads or as part of a sophisticated brunch spread.

Making English muffins at home allows you to control the ingredients and add your personal touch, be it through the type of flour used or by experimenting with various mix-ins like dried fruits or spices.

The process of making these muffins is a therapeutic activity that not only fills your kitchen with the aroma of fresh bread but also provides a sense of accomplishment. Serve these fresh out of the skillet, split open with a fork to reveal the nooks and crannies that make English muffins so delightful.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Cornmeal, for dusting

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Mix in the dry yeast.
Add warm milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick.
Using a round cutter, cut out muffins and dust each with cornmeal.
Place muffins on a baking sheet, cover lightly, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook each muffin for about 5-6 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Chef's Recommendation

"A sharp knife is your best friend in the kitchen. For recipes like this, I always reach for my Chikashi chef knife - it gives me the control and precision I need for perfect results every time."
