Sourdough English Muffins

Homemade Sourdough English Muffins are a great way to kick-start your day! English Muffins are easy to make and can be paired with any of your favorite toppings!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup sourdough starter, discard or active
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup cornmeal, for dusting

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine all ingredients (except cornmeal) on low speed for 5 minutes.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest on the counter overnight (10-14 hours).
  • The following day, transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Sprinkle flour over the dough and use your fingertips to gently press it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  • Using a biscuit cutter, round cookie cutter, or a tall kitchen glass, cut out the dough and transfer each biscuit onto a parchment-lined baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
  • Sprinkle additional cornmeal on top of the biscuits and cover them with a towel. Let them rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over low heat. Place 4 muffins (or as many as fit) into the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes.
  • Flip the muffins over and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
