Description

Delight in the warm aroma and tender texture of homemade sourdough English muffins, perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup active sourdough starter
  • ¾ cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • Cornmeal (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Combine the active sourdough starter, room temperature milk, honey, and melted butter in a large bowl.
  2. Incorporate the all-purpose flour and salt gradually, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  3. Let the dough rest overnight covered with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel.
  4. Shape the dough on a floured surface to about ¾-inch thickness and cut out rounds.
  5. Second rise: Place muffins on a baking tray and let them rest for 30-45 minutes.
  6. Cook muffins in a preheated skillet over low heat for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Cool the muffins on a wire rack, then split them open with a fork.

Notes

Ensure your sourdough starter is active for the best results. Use a damp cloth over the dough during resting to avoid condensation. You may customize by adding herbs, cheese, or dried fruit.
