English Muffins


Who doesn't love english muffins? Lathered with butter or whatever spread you desire, an english muffin can set you up for your day.

But so what Molly? It's a muffin. Anyone can just slice open a store bought one and go on with their day.

But wait! 

I made these. Hold up... I made these? Yessiree!


I started with one. I was very cautious about actually trying the recipe because using yeast has been an intimidating task for me, and my first trial with yeast didn't exactly work out (by which I mean my whole wheat bread never rose and I was left with flat, dense toast for 3 weeks). So, I decided to see how the first one would turn out and judge whether it would be worth continuing. But I was semi-pleased with the result and continued with the batch.


And before I knew it...


I had finished! And had a good pile waiting to be eaten.


Or maybe just one. Look at it! Nooks and crannies and all.

Okay, I only ate one cause I made these around 6 pm and wanted to save the rest for the week and actually enjoy them in the morning. But of course I had to try a fresh one. Hurray for success!

I used used this recipe with a few tweaks:
- used whole wheat flour
- cooked them on a non-stick pan over low medium heat
- I got about 9 muffins out of the recipe

Turned out great. Try it for yourself!
