I've used this delicious recipe for about 29 years. They are very good... much better than any store-bought English Muffins I've ever had.

Time 2h15m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
ΒΌ cup melted shortening
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the sugar, stirring until dissolved. Let cool until lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the milk, yeast mixture, shortening and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add salt and rest of flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Knead. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise.
  • Punch down. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut rounds with biscuit cutter, drinking glass, or empty tuna can. Sprinkle waxed paper with cornmeal and set the rounds on this to rise. Dust tops of muffins with cornmeal also. Cover and let rise 1/2 hour.
  • Heat greased griddle. Cook muffins on griddle about 10 minutes on each side on medium heat. Keep baked muffins in a warm oven until all have been cooked. Allow to cool and place in plastic bags for storage. To use, split and toast. Great with orange butter, or cream cheese and jam.

These English muffins were terrible! They were dry and crumbly, and they had no flavor. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

These English muffins were good, but not great. They were a little bit dense and the flavor was just okay. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I made these English muffins this morning and they were a hit! My family loved them. They were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

These English muffins were delicious! I've tried other recipes before, but these were by far the best. They were light and fluffy, with a perfect crumb. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
