Prep Time2 hours 30 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Servings: 8 English Muffins

Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Warm Milk
  • 1 packet Instant Yeast
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 1/2 cups Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter
  • Corn Meal

Instructions

  • Start by adding warm milk, yeast, and honey to a stand mixer. Mix well, and allow it to sit until it becomes frothy. This takes about 10 minutes.
  • Sift in your flour and salt, and add melted butter.
  • Using a bread hook, mix until your dough comes together. It shouldn’t stick to the bowl or your hands. Knead into a ball and add to a greased bowl. Cover tightly with a towel and allow to rise in a warm place for one hour.
  • Roll out your dough and sprinkle it with corn meal. Cut out 8 circles. Place them on a flat surface, cover with a towel, and allow to rise for an additional 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Heat up a skillet on low heat. Do not grease. Cook each side (corn meal side first) of your English muffin until golden brown. About 5 minutes per side. Low heat is key. You can add additional corn meal to the other side if desired.
  • Enjoy! You just made your own English muffins, that are better than any store bought kind.
