English muffins


These beautiful muffins are so delicious. They are easy to make, but take time to cook. 

The recipe I'm using is adjusted from fatemahisokay on YouTube. She has some amazing recipes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vyN59An_in8

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp yeast

1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp salt

3 Tbsp oil

1 egg

1 cup warm milk

1 tbsp oil to roll and rise the dough in. 

Take the flour, yeast and sugar, add the milk, egg, oil and salt. Mix with a fork until the dough comes together, once it has pulled into a mass knead by hand for a few minutes. If the dough get too sticky, add a couple tablespooons of flour and continue kneading. Once it is soft and slightly springy drizzle oil over and let rise at least 60 minutes or until doubled in size. 

Roll out into approx 1/4 inch thick and cut with a cup, cookie cutter, or measuring cup. Let rise at least 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Preheat a large skillet or frying pan on low-med heat.It takes a good 10 minutes to get the pan heated through nicely. Gently place the muffin on the hot skillet gently flip and rotate from high heat areas to lower heat areas for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked inside. 

When rolling out the next batch from the first cut scraps. You need to let the dough rest after shaping into a ball this can take about 30 minutes until the ball is ready to be rolled flat, then cut, let the muffins rise and bake as previously instructed. 

Yumm! Give them a try:)
