English Muffins (Bread Machine Method). image

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.

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 muffins, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour (or more)
1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
cornmeal

Steps:

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