Sourdough English Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter (fed and bubbly)
  • 1 cup milk (warm)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Cornmeal (for dusting)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dough (Night Before)

  • In a bowl, combine sourdough starter, warm milk, and flour.
  • Mix until it forms a soft, sticky dough.
  • Cover the bowl and leave it at room temperature overnight (8–12 hours).

Step 2: Add Final Ingredients

  • In the morning, add sugar, salt, and baking soda to the dough.
  • Mix gently until everything is well combined.
  • The dough will become soft and slightly fluffy.

Step 3: Shape the Muffins

  • Sprinkle cornmeal on a clean surface.
  • Turn the dough out and gently roll it to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Use a round cutter (or glass) to cut muffin shapes.
  • Place them on a tray dusted with cornmeal.

Step 4: Rest the Muffins

  • Cover and let them rest for 30–60 minutes.
  • They will puff up slightly.

Step 5: Cook on Pan

  • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle on low-medium heat.
  • Cook muffins for about 5–7 minutes on each side.
  • Flip carefully until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

  • Let them cool slightly.
  • Split with a fork (not a knife for best texture).
  • Toast and serve with butter, jam, or eggs.

Tips

  • Cook on low heat so the inside cooks properly.
  • If they brown too fast, lower the heat.
  • You can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
