If you like this recipe - like/subscribe to this channel for more. Recipe for English Muffins below:
1 cup (242 g) milk
3 TBSP (42 g) butter
1 1/2 tsp (9 g) salt
2 TBSP (25 g) sugar
1/4 cup (59 g) lukewarm water
1 egg beaten
1 package (7 g) rapid rise yeast
4 cups (480 g) flour
Cornmeal to sprinkle
Scald milk, stir in butter, salt and sugar, stir until melted/dissolved. Add water. Temperature should be ~ 120 -130 degree F. In mixing bowl, combine flour and yeast. Add liquids and eggs and mix until combined.
Knead until dough is smooth and elastic (at least 5 minutes).
Place dough in greased bowl, turn to coat top, cover and let rise 1/2 to 1 hour.
Divide dough into 12 equal portions (~ 2/3 cup each). Shape dough into ball and then flatten, after all the balls have been shaped roll dough out to ~ 4 inch diameter circles.
Place circles on cutting board or baking sheet that has been generously sprinkled with cornmeal.
Cover with clean towel and let rise until doubled in size (~ 1 hour)
Preheat griddle on LOW heat. Gently transfer dough to griddle. Cook for 7 minutes - For best results give a 1/2 spin to each muffin after 3 1/2 minutes of baking. Gently turn muffin and cook for another 7 minutes (again give a half spin after 3 1/2 minutes).
Place on cooling rack. English muffins are best split and toasted. Serve with butter and jam, or use for sandwiches. Extra English muffins can be frozen.

I make sourdough English muffins. I didn't realize how easy they were to make, taste way better than the premade ones. Can you show us your collection of cast iron? I'm nosey like that :)

[@lindahiortdahl6679]

definitely much better than store bought -i don't think i can post pictures in the reply, so I was going to say watch all my videos to see all my cast iron but realized there are quite a few pans that have not had the spotlight (like the 6 #3's I have) :-)

Electric skillet was ideal for baking.

[@lindahiortdahl6679]

that is the best thing about English Muffins you can cook them on almost anything

[@samariens596]

Do you use a cooking spray on the pan before you start cooking?

[@lindahiortdahl6679]

sorry just saw your comment - no cooking spray just preheat the skillet a little

[@beckykeen5079]

What do we need to do differently with regular yeast instead of rapid rise?

[@lindahiortdahl6679]

Regular generally needs to be activated by itself (with a little warm water and sugar) then gets mixed in with the rest of the ingredients. The rapid rise can just be mixed in without activating it first.

They look lovely! Do they have nooks and crannies? Thank you!

[@lindahiortdahl6679]

Not as many as the ones you buy in the store - but the ones you buy taste like cardboard and these do not :-)
