These quick and simple english muffins are the bomb! with just a handful of ingredients and 10 minutes you're good to go! Perfect for the beginner or anyone that likes to experiment.
INGREDIENTS
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tbsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, but typical for muffins)
- ½ cup milk or plain yogurt (yogurt gives more chew)
- 4 tsp neutral oil (vegetable or olive oil)
- Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)
DIRECTIONS
- Dry mix
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. - Add liquids
Stir in milk (or yogurt) and oil. Knead 2-3 minutes to combine. - Roll it out
Put dough onto a floured surface. Roll to about ½ inch thick—this thickness is key. - Cut the muffins
Use a cookie cutter or drinking glass (about 3 inches wide).
Re-roll scraps and repeat until you have ~12 rounds. - Dust
Lightly coat each round with flour or cornmeal (classic English muffin texture). - Cook in a pan
Heat a dry nonstick or cast-iron skillet over low heat.
Cook around 6 muffins for 5 minutes the first side and 3-5 minutes the other side, covered, until:- Golden brown
- Puffy
- Cooked through (no doughy center)
- Cool slightly & split
Let rest 2 minutes. Fork-split for nooks and crannies (optional but righteous). Otherwise just use a knife.
