The first week of June, how did that happen?
And 2 weeks until the first Farmers Market in our town.
I am still working on bread recipes, cause lets face it, I am not going to have anything ready from the garden.
Only a row of spinach planted so far!
This weekend I tested out English Muffins.
I found a simple, yet tastey recipe.
English Muffins
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons sugar
3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast.
cornmeal for dusting the dough
I mixed mine in my bread machine on the yeast cycle.
When the timer went off, letting me know the dough was ready, I dumped the mixture on my counter, that was lightly dusted with cornmeal.
I rolled the dough out to a 1 inch thickness and used my sandwich cutter to cut out circles.
You need to put the circles on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 20 minutes.
They get nice and poofy!
On a hot griddle, preheated to 350 F. you can begin cooking your muffins.
They take 6 to 7 minutes per side to cook.
They brown up nice!
They puff up even nicer!
I smooshed some of mine because I thought they wouldn't fit into my toaster.
I got a dozen muffins out of this batch!
And they were delicious!
I am off to the farm today to finally plant the rest of my garden!
I think its going to be a little muddy, but the stuff HAS to go in the ground today!
More rain expected from Wednesday thru the weekend!
Oh this darn weather!
Happy Monday!

Looks tasty. Hope you get everything planted today.
ReplyDeleteI got most everything planted today!!
DeleteI'd love to try them - it's hard to get a good English muffin!! I like Thomas' but but very few stores carry them around here, not a popular item in Canada, I guess. The muffins we get here have no nooks and crannies,not exciting at all!!
ReplyDeleteNot a lot of nooks and crannies, you can't beat Thomas muffins. But they toast up nice and crunchy.
DeleteThey look really good, I've never seen a recipe for English Muffins. Hope you get your garden planted this week.
ReplyDeleteI kept seeing recipes for these popping up on pinterest. Thought I would give them a try. I got most of my garden planted! Yippee!
DeleteHard to believe it's June isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSuper looking muffins! Yours look much nicer than mine.
I just can't believe the year is almost half over!
DeleteThese look very tasty!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of recipes I have collected up but will try this one since you gave such good reviews :)
I have tried a few, and these by far were the best. Oh and easy!
DeleteThe English muffins look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThey were! I had to freeze them to stop myself from eating all of them!
DeleteI really want to try these! Thanks for sharing!

DeleteReally?!?! Ohh I thought we were done for a bit with this rain! The ground is a muddy mess!!! I am pinning these Liz because they look out of this world awesome!!! I hope your daughter had a wonderful time seeing her sweet little guy!!!
ReplyDeleteThose darn weatherman keep rain in the forecast just in case! My daughter will be home for good in 6 more days!! Did you make it to the Kane County flea market this time?
DeleteI love making whole wheat English muffins. In fact, I haven't made those in a while. Your muffins look delicious. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI want to try making whole wheat ones the next time.
DeleteYour recipe is a little different than mine but they look the same in the end...delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteI like your sandwich cutter too!
I have a sourdough recipe I want to try next. Found the sandwich cutter in one of those dollar boxes at an auction. I use it a lot !
