English Muffins





I made my tried-and-true recipe for Raisin English Muffins today. Unlike the supermarket variety, these are packed with fresh, wonderful, warm-from-the griddle flavor. I've included a picture of them from right after I cut the dough with my biscuit cutter, and set them on a cookie sheet to rise. Here they are, all sprinkled with cornmeal, and studded with raisins.

Typically, I made a sponge, and let it sit, covered, for a couple of hours on the counter while I went to do homework. Then, I added the remaining ingredients, kneaded it, and let them rise again. More homework (well, and maybe there was some napping that went on, but you weren't looking). Then, I punched it down, rolled out the dough, and made the round shapes. I let them rise again, and then grilled them on a dry griddle to glorious English Muffin perfection. Mmmmmmm!
