40 years ago when I was doing lots of sourdough cooking, I made English muffins. They were so good. I patted the dough out and used a cleaned tuna fish can as my cutter. Never used a form, just put the dough on my cast iron circle griddle and cooked them after the second rise. I think my recipe made a dozen so it was a bit of cooking to get them all done. If the muffins are a bit soft inside, they will crisp right up when you toast them in the toaster. With four boys, I usually would make them on the weekend and have them for Saturday night breakfast for dinner.
That’s s great idea. I wish i had saved my cans.
@@PamelaKS Just use a large opening, in a glass......OR cut them square. lol
Thank you - bread products without an oven will be extremely valuable
In college we rented a house with a 1940s stove complete with griddle. (We also had a 1940s sink with a built-in drain boards which I absolutely loved.). We used to make English muffins all the time but we didn’t have fancy rings - we used tunafish cans in the beginning. After a while we just did them by hand. Because we didn’t have a thermometer to tell us they were ready, we found that without the cans we could push on the sides of the muffins to see if they spring back.
We found that one of those angel food cake slicers (looks like a big long tooth comb) worked really well for separating the English muffins. Two of those and it was done in just a second.
I think that letting them cool isn’t just for cooling, but to let them continue cooking. Especially with the rings on, if they had continued cooling they would’ve probably continued cooking a bit and not been doughy in the middle. (That’s as much as I remember but that was almost 50 years ago😆).
I don’t remember what kind of stove it was but it had the strangest oven controller. It was on the side of the big oven and it was sort of like the throttle control on the boat. Whenever we broiled, my free-sprited roommate drove my very straight-laced roommate crazy yelling out “full speed ahead” every time we turned the broiler on. But I laughed every time.
Fun memory. Tfs
That's hilarious! 😂
Great video, but one doesn’t really need any rings at all. I have made these many, many times and only cut them out with a large jar of can. They will hold their shape beautifully. And it’s nice that you can make larger ones for the guys who like an extra large egg sandwich. It’s just so fun to be able to make things yourself. Thanks for sharing this and encouraging others to try it. They are so easy and worth the effort!
I love King Arthur recipes. They are as close to never failing as it comes in baking.
You're adorable, I wouldn't wait to open them either lol
Those English muffins look delicious. I forget about those, and they are delicious with butter and/or jam. Thank you!
Lulu: Yes, we agree with your butter and jam ad-ons. I am sure we can come with more. Jim
In Ireland - we cook our soda farls on a griddle ----- yummy Nana never used utensils - she must have had asbestos hands
Years ago we made egg and English muffins. There were no proper rings so we discovered that tuna cans worked beautifully. I really enjoyed this. Hope you are enjoying your Ankarsrum mixer. I found a trick to having the Ankarsrum mix bread dough a little easier. I add the flour in close to the roller and the arm doesn't move around as much and then you get the nice wheel appearance as it kneads.
Mom used tuna cans too! Great memories!
I’m frugal enough that I would definitely opt for tuna cans, lol. I have plenty, just have to remember to save them instead of recycling them. Great idea. My next learning project is BREAD and all the fun stuff. I don’t eat much of it but feel it would definitely be a skill I’d want if we were in an off grid emergency. Bright blessings to you.
I also used tuna cans. Unfortunately you can't take the bottom of today's cans with a can opener.
Unc used to make English muffins in his cast iron pan on the stove so it's most like the way you did it. There were no rings which act as heat sinks (sp?) but he did put a lid on the pan whilst they were rising. Post done he pulled it off the heat BUT left them in the pan to cool. Anyone caught with a knife about them were banished from the feast. One quickly learned "fork split" as the rule. Ya know, you have triggered a lot of fond memories. Thank you for that too! 🥰🥰🥰. Loved the video can you tell? ❤️
I use 2 forks back to back and lever apart by pushing them together on the edge in one spot like you did then separating and pulling the forks apart so that you open the muffin into 2 halves this keeps the sponge texture on the inside surfaces as you have pulled them apart not cut them as when hot, cutting it will make the cut surface doughy. This works well with hot bread rolls and hot scones too. Hope this is helpful. thank you for all your useful videos.
It's so fun to learn new things. Thanks for being a fun teacher! The muffins look so good, better than the packaged variety. Thanks Jim for capturing the fun on camera so we could become the muffin mam or man whichever fits. LOL
oh that is fun. If the grid goes down it will be a great festive activity! What a beautiful griddle! Enjoy it all you can! THANKS SO MUCH1
Beautiful English muffins.. lol my hands went up.. I love English muffins especially with golden raisins in them..
Beautiful. If the grid goes down I want to come to your house. Lol
Wow! News to me! Thank you!
Wow!! I'm going to try this! Thank you!!
Love this. I don't have an oven so love learning what more I can do on my stove top--or grid down. Thank you.
I had no idea either ! They look so good !
Oh how delicious they look!
I love English muffins. I had no idea they were so simple to make. Thank you for sharing.
They are delish too. They are super easy. You can add raisins and cinnamon. I have also used dried cherries and pecans. Looking forward to try cheese and green chilies. You do not need muffin rings. Shape them by hand and they keep the shape. A cast iron skillet to cook them. You just need a tiny bit of corn mill or none at all.
Oh Pam how fun and a great way to make English Muffins. I will try them outside! My Mom used to eat them with fresh Strawberry Jam and loads of Real Butter. Thank You so much for allowing us into your wonderful classroom.
I’ve also seen people use wide mouthed canning jar lids for their English muffin rings :)
Those turned out beautifully! I love the height you got on them!
In college, my roommate taught us how to make them and we used very well washed tuna cans. They were bigger than the recipe called for but that was OK with us.
I've heard you can use tin cans, opened at both ends, if you don't have muffin rings. These look great!
I was so pleasantly surprised the first time I made crumpets, similar process. They are even more “hole-filled and just as delicious. I too love my muffin rings. Yip-i-de-doo-da!
nadurkee46: Sounds great! Jim
Oh my goodness. I wish I could have one of those muffins right now. Beautiful job, but too many carbohydrates for me. I had to laugh when you so neatly stacked the rings and I wondered why you were being so careful, knowing that they would all fall into a heap when you lifted the tray. Then you sprayed them - how ingenious. Thanks for a great video.
When she stacked them I thought it seemed pretty dumb, turns out I'm the dumb one.
They look so fluffy and tasty. As an English woman I admit I've never tried this, as the shop bought version in the UK is so good. Even quicker than this bread version is Welsh cakes- they are basic very flat scones with currants and sugar on the top, which you cook on a griddle in no time. Great for campfire cooking too. Thanks for an entertaining and informative channel.
I raised my hand! I really did! By letting them cool in the ring it will continue to cook. But the insides will crisp up when toasted, so you are good. They look simply delicious!! 😋
I make english muffins often. I don't have the rings, I just cut them with large mouth jar ring and cook in an ungreased stainless fry pan. They come out great. Yours look delicious. They are a good thing to have on hand for breakfast. I store in refrigerator.
DJ: Your muffins sound a lot easier to make than and store than ours. Jim
Success! I really like my Blackstone, but Now, can hardly wait to use it for English Muffins! Thank you! 😀
Leave it to you to come up with such a fun project! Keep them coming! Thanks!
The English muffins look wonderful! I never knew they were grilled either :-)
My daughter makes the best breakfast sandwiches with english muffins. She toasts a batch and using egg rings, she makes over medium fried eggs and cooks frozen sausage patties. Once the eggs and sausage is ready, she puts a sausage patty on the bottom bun then a slice of cheese then a cooked egg. They are so yummy! Sometimes I put a little bit of jam on the sausage then the egg then cheese.
Those are the best looking English Muffins I've ever seen!!
What a fun project! Thanks for sharing!
Your enthusiasm for learning something new was an inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
I love eating these however I have never seen them made before, this was great!
Pam you are so much fun! I would have dug in also!
I have made English Muffins before and always cook the on my electric griddle.I gave a Blackstone and I will be doing this next time. Thank you!
Hi Pam and Jim. Crumpets are done on the griddle as well and I have larger rings to suit the crumpets and they are exactly the same as yours only bigger. Crumpets are a pure breakfast joy for me with butter and apricot jam and a cup of black Lady Gray tea. I also enjoy making english muffins as well but only make them when the grandkids are here as well as belgian waffles as they always request either of them for breakfast lol. Watching crumpets cook is also interesting. Michelle
Mmmm crumpets.
Yum 😋 I’m available for tea, lol. The commute would be very long but very worth it. Crumpets and Lady Gray? Yes please. Bright blessings to you.
@@firequeen2194 Right back at you Melissa. I’m from Australia lol. Michelle
I absolutely love my Blackstone griddle, and I know I am going to love making English muffins. Thanks Pam and Jim for another great video and recipe!
Oh myyyyy, those are lovely! I can almost taste them! Nice work!
I've never seen English muffins made. This was wonderful!!
I will absolutely make these!!
Pam, firstly I have not looked into it but on Doug and Stacy’s homestead channel she mention the white parchment paper when heated gives off a chemical 🤷🏼♀️. She suggests the brown parchment which I haven’t seen or looked for. I really want to make these ❤️
I use unbleached parchment paper but there is silicone on them. No where have I found just unbleached parchment paper without anything on it. So the choice is bleached or silicone coated parchment paper. If anyone knows where just brown parchment paper, without any coatings can be found, please let us know. Thank you. 🙂
I ordered some of the natural parchment paper from Amazon. It wasn’t very expensive.
D&S are fear mongers.
I found brown Parchment at our organic food Coop along with other supplies.
I didn't know that! Will be changing that up! Stacy is very knowledgeable in areas like this! Thanks for sharing.
Another wonderful video from two wonderful people.
In the past, after having eaten my "load of muffins", I have tried to deflate my stomach in like manner as one deflates the muffin dough. I thought that made sense. Only, it didn't work... (hahaha). Love muffins. Not sure about waiting to eat them until they have cooled, though. The Victorians and Edwardians had special muffin dishes, the keep them warm and ready at the table. One should have them with lots of butter. But one thing is of great Importance (and I'm Being quite Earnest): "I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs. One should always eat muffins quite calmly. It is the only way to eat them." Not my words, but words of an Irish genius. Love your videos; keep up the good work!
Recipe please...look great
I’m thinking that the recipe should be on either the bag of flour , she said it was King Arthur’s or king Arthur’s site ..
Beautiful👏🏻👏🏻 So nice to know that there is a bread able to be made in an emergency situation!
I think these would be PERFECT with a bit of butter and your plum jam!
Pro: Absolutely!! Jim
Outstanding, gorgeous, perfect, and I'm sure delicious. I'm running out of superlatives, here. Thank you so much for sharing.
Diane: We appreciate all of the superlatives. Thanks for watching our videos. Jim
Great job! Thank you for this😊
Mollie: You're welcome 😊 Jim
Pam and Jim thank you both for these great videos, l always learn new things. I'm 56 so l guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks lol. These muffins look soooo good. I never thought to make these on the grill lol. Jim you're lucky to be married to a great cook lol. Planning to get both sisters Pam and her sisters cook book for Christmas!! Be well !!🦋
Dori: No old dogs, just new information to work into new experiences that become useful to you and those around you. Yes, Pam is great cook and I am lucky to be married to her. She has more cookbooks on the way. Thanks for watching our channel. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead
Thanks Jim, when the cook books come out, I'll let my spouse and kids know, that way I'll be sure to get them on my birthday or Christmas ~ LOL
I learned from another you tube channel you can make English muffins on top of the stove. Your tutorial was excellent.
Marie: Awesome! Thank you! JIm
Beautiful muffins 🥳
Lol...can't wait either.
How neat! They remind me of crumpets, which are likely the same thing I think.
Those English muffins look delicious! Kudos to you!. I want to make some but I need to get a starter going.
Thanks for all the great videos, information and inspiration 🙂
S E: You are so welcome! Jim
I don’t necessarily use sourdough. Regular yeast recipe is delicious , too!
They sure are beautiful!!
The muffins will continue to cook as they cool from the outside so I'll bet that yours will be perfect, not doughy in the middle. I'm going to try the recipe on my pancake griddle. Thanks for providing the link to KA's recipe.
That was going to be one of my comments. There’s probably a reason they tell you to let them cool.
rachelle and Janet: Yes, we agree with both of you. Jim
Love learning new things on both of your channels. Didn't know English Muffins are made on a cooktop. Interesting.
I've made English Muffin Bread, because I never knew how to make these. Thank you for showing us how.
Susan: Our pleasure. Jim
IMPRESSIVE!!!!
Scott: Thanks! Jim
I love how straightforward and honest older generations are ❤
Thank you, Jim
Those look delicious!
They look great!
my favourite lady has the breakfast english muffins! yeah!
Thank you for this video on how to make English muffins, never knew this. Just want to say how much I enjoy learning from you. I have been canning for many years and brought my dehydrator back out to use since watching your videos. I like your knowledge and experience that you bring to your videos.
Nancy: You are so welcome! Jim
Thank you!❤
You are too funny! Didn‘t see one soul debating if you should or shouldn’t open the muffins! Lol
I also think you should put some of your plum jam on those muffins
Oh Pam and Jim they look delicious. Your house has to smell so good.
They are beautiful.
I would be so terribly overweight if I lived with y'all . Your food always makes me hungry.
I had no idea that’s how English Muffins are made! I think they look delicious and what a great treat! I’m thinking if the grid goes down……. I want to be really good at making these! Better start now…… Yummmm 😊
We make sourdough "toaster Biscuits" every Sunday with our discard. They freeze beautiful. I find that after they have cooled I place them in the toaster oven for about 1 min, it will puff back up a bit. Then take it out split & toast. I use a serrated knife. I find it works better than a fork.
We lost power last week due to bad weather! I have learned many places that I need to correct! Ty!
OMG, they look amazing! I love buying these from a local bakery, nothing like handmade! I may have to try this, thank you.
That looks so easy! Thank you!
Pam, those look amazing! I have to have GF everything, so a bit tricky! But these look perfect and so perfectly created! You're an amazing woman! 💕🇨🇦
Yum! These looked so good!! Thanks for another wonderful video!!
Thank you
I love English Muffins
I use cast iron pan and cook to 205 degrees. Perfect
How fun! We love English Muffins am going to get the recipe now. They ARE beautiful!😀
Those look so good!
Use your wide mouth canning jar lids in place of the rings.i think it would work.
Keep the videos coming!
Thank you Rose and Jim.
Great video! Learned something new ..again. I intend to try these this Fall. Thank you.
Becky: Let us know the results fall muffins. Jim
What fun! Thank you.
Awesome, I learn things on every video but more on this 1.
I will definitely be making these. Thank you Pam!!!
Wow…..they look professional as well as delicious! I am so going to try this! Thanks, as always, for your instructions.
Oh my gosh, Pam! You have no idea how thankful I am to see your video! I have tried several times to make English muffins and just couldn’t figure it out. The kept rising and ending up looking just like hamburger buns! Plus, I just couldn’t get the “nooks and crannies” the way I wanted to. Know I know the secret! Muffin rings and fork splitting! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You always come through for us!
Looks very yummy. Thank you for showing us how these are baked!
Oh I love English muffins! I will be making these!
Darnit. I thought you knew everything! 😀
😆
They look beautiful.
English muffins are my favorite!! Thank you so much. I’m trying these just a soon as I get done with all the other stuff I have to do! This is for me🤣🤣🤗🤗
Looks yummy.
Wow those are some great looking English muffins!
Well I’m so excited I am about to start my own ATV adventure! Yesterday we signed a contract to buy a lot in the Ocala Florida forest. Wow what a blessing. There are very few lots available in this place. Because it is a huge forest huge! So I’m going to go RV shopping Thursday and Friday. We are going to rent a campsite for 6-9 months. You cannot have an RV on your land until you have a structure that is hooked to water and electric. Oh and with a septic tank. So it’s going to be quite a while before we can have that set up going on. But we’re going to go back-and-forth from SC to the campsite to clean up our land. Because it to forest, lol. So hopefully by the end of that time we’ll have some sort of barn structure that we can park the RV in. But this forest is phenomenal. List to follow.
Amazing hunting for my husband
Gun/rifle ranges
Pro class bass fishing. How pro class? The largest bass in the world yes I said in the world was caught in a lake 20 minutes from my property a couple years ago.
Hiking and ATV trails all through the forest
Many lakes with boat ramps
Not to mention the entire center of Florida is covered in springs popping out from aquifers under Florida. They are some of the most gorgeous springs you would ever lay your eyes on.
To say I am excited is an understatement!
Oh I will be making some of these English muffins on my RV griddle!
Oh wow these look delicious! You are exactly right regarding letting them cool. Paul from the “Great British Baking Show” made English muffins in one of the master classes. Mary Berry wanted to taste one and Paul was quick to tell her that they had to wait until they cooled because the muffins were doughy inside at that moment as they would continue to cook until cooled.
Dottye: Yes they are! Jim
I like to finish them off in the oven for a few minutes just to be sure. But in grid down I’d be so happy to have them anyway💕
I've never made them before. You made it look easy. I love making all kinds of bread so, I will give it a try. Thanks
