Description

Soft, chewy, and filled with signature nooks and crannies, these homemade English muffins are perfect for breakfast or anytime snacking.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Cornmeal, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat so it’s ready later.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add melted butter, flour, and salt. Stir until dough forms, then knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth.
  4. Roll dough to about ¾ inch thick and cut into rounds. Place on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Cover loosely and let rise 30–45 minutes.
  5. Transfer to hot griddle. Cook each side for 7–9 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Split open with a fork and toast as desired.

Notes

  • Use a fork to split for perfect nooks and crannies.
  • Freeze extras in a sealed bag for up to 2 months.
  • Try a test muffin first to check heat settings on your griddle.
