When I was growing up on a farm, my mom always seemed to be making homemade bread...nothing tasted so good! Now I like to make these simple yet delicious muffins for my own family.
Excellent - - even though I seriously worried that I was going to have dough all over my cieling at one point! Ha ha. During the rise, this really does take on a life of it's own, but that's OK, because it seems to work. I made a small loaf and muffins and ended up baking them this time around. Will try the griddle method next time. Thanks!

I never was an english muffin fan until now. Store bought does not compare to homemade. I omitted the poppy and seasame seeds otherwise I followed the recipe as instructed. Instead of greasing the pan I sprinkled it liberally with cornmeal. The cornmeal keeps the muffins from sticking but does need to be changed when placing new muffins to cook in the pan. Use a low heat to prevent burning and most important to check often for golden brown color. My first 4 burnt because my heat was too high I needed to add more cornmeal on the flip which I did not. Mine cooked up using about 10 minutes on the first side and about 8 minutes on the flip. These were so delicious and not difficult to make. Thanks for sharing!
These are really wonderful! The recipe was easy to follow and they turned out great. I did omit the sesame seeds, but still they have great flavor and texture. My husband loves them! The only thing I will try next time is to let the dough "rest" 10-15 mins after punching down. I noticed my muffins cut from the second rolling turned out fluffier...
These are the first english muffins I've tried to make and they turned out beautifully, as you can see in my photo. I found they took a little less time to fry up than indicated but that may have been due to the fact that I used real butter to grease the skillet. I also cut them smaller (3" cutter) to help with the diet. Delicious!
The English muffins are delicious. I substitute 2 Tbsp. wheat germ for the poppy and sesame seeds, but otherwise follow the recipe completely. My hubby loves these, even prefers them to store-bought. :) Thanks.
Not quite the English muffins I expected - I followed the recipe faithfully but ended up with muffins that were more bread-like than English muffin like. The muffins were however very tasty, but my husband commented that their texture was more like a bagel than English muffin. Also found that I deflated them a little after the 2nd rising when I moved them to the griddle - next time I'll just leave them to rise on the griddle before turning on to heat.
Very tasty! I typically make English muffin loaves, but with guests coming for a few days, decided to try muffins and chose this recipe. Easy to make and picture perfect. I used my largest biscuit cutter (3 1/2 in) and they were small. I think next time I may try to add a little more white flour and decrease the whole wheat - simply because they were a little strong on the whole wheat flavor. Perfect with cream cheese and sugar free blackberry preserves! thanks for sharing
I had high hopes for this recipe and it didn't quite live up. My husband and I thought they were pretty good. They didn't rise up quite as much as I had hoped and were a little drier than I would have liked. I will probably try again though and see how the next batch turns out.
So good! We love English Muffins. Now that I can make them instead of spending money to buy them, we'll be making them all the time. The only thing I changed was I left out the poppy seeds because I didn't have them on hand. Fabulous!
Many years now, I've blindly purchased costly English Muffins at the store. No more. This recipe is so easy and tasty, I've started making my own even tastier and at a fraction of the cost. That old electric griddle I never use, now has a reason to stick around my kitchen.
I tried this recipe and it WAS great. I love english muffins but didn't like the steep price for only 6 muffins. I love the "fresh bread" taste. By looking at the recipe I thought it would be a lot of trouble, but it wasn't. This is a MUST try recipe. You will never eat a store brought english muffin again.
these were fantastic!! so much better than store bought. My husband and I loved these!!!! Will make these from now on. No more store bought english muffins for us. Thank you Linda Rasumussen for the recipe.
I will use this again. Very good dough. It is strong on the wheat taste, but better fiber content with the entire amount. I used sesame seeds and a small amount to oat bran.
