SOURDOUGH ENGLISH MUFFINS
Here is an easy recipe that makes muffins much better than store-bought and is also a good way to use your extra sourdough. I found this recipe on a website called 'The Fresh Loaf' and tweaked a few of the details based on my experience. There is some amount of planning ahead needed as you have to start the night before, but it is definitely worth it.

Steps:
- Stir milk and sourdough starter together in a large bowl until mostly smooth. Mix in flour. Cover bowl and leave to ferment at room temperature, 8 hours to overnight.
- Add sugar, baking soda, and salt to the preferment, stirring just enough to incorporate. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 4 to 5 minutes, adding as much of the 1/2 cup flour as needed to make the dough workable.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten dough to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 4-inch rounds using a clean tuna can or biscuit cutter; keep edges well floured to avoid sticking.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of cornmeal over a sheet of waxed paper. Arrange cut-outs over the cornmeal. Sprinkle a thin layer over the dough. Let rest for 45 minutes.
- Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Cook English muffins until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Pour the boiling water over the oil and cereal.
- Mix and let cool.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Store in a covered container in refrigerator.
- When ready to bake, DO NOT STIR, just dip out enough for greased muffin tins.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a good quality sourdough starter. This will give your muffins a better flavor and texture.
- Make sure your starter is active before using it. If it's not, it won't be able to properly leaven the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make your muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give them a nice crust and a tender crumb.
Conclusion:
Sourdough bran muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, and they're also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Plus, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast option, give sourdough bran muffins a try!
