Description

These Homemade English Muffins are soft, chewy, and filled with nooks and crannies — perfect for toasting and slathering with butter or jam.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • Cornmeal, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, salt, and 2 1/2 cups flour. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes, adding more flour as needed until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1–1.5 hours.
  5. Punch down the dough and roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Use a round cutter (about 3 inches) to cut out muffins. Reroll scraps as needed.
  7. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal and place muffins on top. Sprinkle more cornmeal over the tops. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Cook muffins for 6–8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool on a wire rack. Split with a fork to enjoy the signature texture.

Notes

  • Use a fork to split the muffins to maintain the nooks and crannies.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Check doneness with a thermometer — internal temperature should be 200°F.
