FAQ ❓
What makes English muffins different from regular bread?
English muffins are unique due to their round shape, nooks and crannies, and the cooking method, which involves baking on a griddle rather than in an oven.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for English muffins?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but it may result in a denser texture. Consider mixing it with all-purpose flour for a lighter muffin.
How can I ensure my English muffins are fluffy?
To achieve fluffiness, make sure to knead the dough properly and allow it to rise adequately before cooking, as this helps develop the gluten structure.
What toppings pair well with homemade English muffins?
You can enjoy them with a variety of toppings such as butter, jam, honey, scrambled eggs, bacon, or even avocado for a delicious twist.
How long do homemade English muffins last?
Homemade English muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer shelf life, up to 3 months.
