Equipment

  • Griddle or Skillet
  • Baking sheets
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk warm, or regular milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cornmeal for coating

Instructions
 

  • Mix yeast, milk, honey, egg, butter, salt, and 1 cup flour to a mixing bowl and mix well. Add remaining flour and stir everything until very well combined, to form a soft, sticky dough. Cover bowl and rest for 20 minutes.
  • Line two sheet pans with parchment paper and sprinkle cornmeal between the two. Grease a ¼ cup measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray and scoop batter into equal portioned 'blobs' onto the cornmeal on the sheet pans.
  • Press and shape each batter blob into a flat, round disk, around 3 inches in diameter, then flip to the other side, to coat both flat sides lightly in cornmeal. Space the dough discs at least an inch apart along both baking sheets.
  • Cover the pans with a light kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 ½ hours.
  • Heat a griddle to about 325 degrees (or a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium/medium low heat). Cook for 7-10 minutes on each side until golden brown and center registers 200°F.
  • Remove to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before splitting open with a fork and serving.

Notes

Store English muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
