Description

Delicious homemade English muffins made with sourdough starter.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups sourdough starter (active)
  • 3 cups milk
  • 4 Tbsp honey
  • 6 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 4 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl mix the starter, milk, honey, and flour together. Cover and leave overnight at room temperature. (It’s best to do this at night or rest for a minimum of 10 hours.)
  2. In the morning, knead in the salt and baking soda until smooth.
  3. Pre-heat a skillet over med-low heat (300°F).
  4. To make English muffins: scoop 1/3 cup of dough and form into a ball. Lightly dredge the top and bottom with fine cornmeal and transfer into a tray dusted with cornmeal. Repeat until all muffins are done.
  5. Fry English muffins covered, (no oil needed) for 3-5 minutes on each side or until done and no longer doughy in the inside.
  6. Split open and serve toasted with butter and jam.

Notes

  • It’s best to let the mixture rest overnight.
  • Ensure the skillet is properly heated before frying the muffins.
