Homemade English Muffins

September 29th, 2010

At brunch this past weekend, I ordered my usual Eggs Benedict, but noticed something new on the menu: it came with a homemade English Muffin.   I wasn’t sure if I’d even notice the difference, since it would be smothered in runny egg yolks, creamy sauce and a slab of ham.   But after my first bite, I vowed never to buy another package of store-bought English Muffins again.   Yesterday I made my own batch (from this recipe) and with only a handful of ingredients, they came out fluffy, chewy and filled with nooks and crannies.

    I can’t wait to give these a try!! I love an english muffin in the morning with avocado – although I usually go for whole wheat or spelt. I may play around with different types of flour. Do you think they would freeze well, if you made a large batch?

    Wow! They look scrumptious.
    Sometime we need a blog post on what you eat in a typical day or week Emily — how the heck can such a lean, fit girl eat these carbs and sweets. (Yes, I’m extremely jealous!)
