When I landed on this recipe while surfing the web, I had to try it. I'm so glad it did. They are delicious. Tip I: The dough should be soft but not sticky. It took me two attempts to get that just right. Tip II: I posted the recipe as written. After, several batches, I don't press the dough into a rectangle anymore. I divide it into eight equal pieces and pat each piece into a 1/2" thick round. Then, turn each round in dish of cornmeal.

SERVES 8 , 8 muffins (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Put ingredients in the machine in the order listed.
  2. 2
    Start the dough cycle.
  3. 3
    When the cycle is finished.
  4. 4
    Sprinkle corn meal over your work area.
  5. 5
    Use your hands to pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle.
  6. 6
    Turn the dough so that each side gets lightly coated with cornmeal.
  7. 7
    Cut into 8 to 10 rounds.
  8. 8
    An empty large tuna can works well When you run out of dough gather up the trimmings and cut more rounds.
  9. 9
    Place the rounds on a baking sheet, cover and let rise for 20- 30 minutes--until not quite double.
  10. 10
    Heat a dry cast iron skillet or griddle over a low flame.
  11. 11
    (I do spray mine with Pam).
  12. 12
    Cook the muffins about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
  13. 13
    They should be golden brown when you turn them.
  14. 14
    Split the muffins with a fork or serrated knife and serve warm.
  15. 15
    These freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave or toasted.

FANTASTIC!!!! My husband LOVED English Muffins, but now we wouldn't think of buying them anymore. They just don't last very long at our house. I have added flour so they aren't sticky and have tried a couple of variations including raisins and nuts (craisins would work too). I accidentally used bread flour in one batch and they were EXTREMELY light and fluffy. I am anxious to try other variations — whole wheat flour with cracked wheat — dried blueberries — bacon bits (using bacon grease from BLTs) — apricots — other dried fruits etc. I see no reason why this shouldn't work and making 1-1/2 batch in the bread machine is no problem.

    So delicious! I ate three as soon as they were out of the oven, and kept munching on them all day! Cheaper and better than store-bought, this is definately a keeper!

    These are excellent! I will never buy english muffins from the store again, my husband and I love them, I went and bought a big mouth cup to use to cut them because I couldn't find anything that would make them the size as the ones you get in the stores and that did the trick and it made 9 of them, the first batch I made was with fat free milk then the second I used hole milk and they were much better. I will be making these for years to come. Thanks so much for posting such a wonderful recipe!!

    We love English Muffins and these turned out perfectly. DH is the bread maker and gave this 5 stars for ease of preparation as well as taste. We must've used a smaller cutter 'cause we ended up with 11 muffins from one batch of dough. Better and cheaper than storebought. Stack these with a patty of frozen sausage and a piece of cheese, then wrap and freeze for a quickie breakfast sandwich. So long Mickey D's!
