world_persona: This looks pretty great and I wouldn’t mind trying to make English muffins at least once.
But everytime I see anything AllRecipes, I’m reminded of the reviews nearly all of their recipes have: “This recipe for english muffins are great! I just substituted X for Y and Ingredient F I just doubled and added a little ingredient P for a little pizzazz. 10/10 would use this recipe for lasagne again.”
wootiown: These will go perfectly with those McMuffins from earlier!

**Ingredients**
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1/4 cup melted shortening
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
**Directions**
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.
**My own notes on this:**
I have made English muffins using my cast iron skillet rather than a griddle and I highly recommend it as it goes from stove to oven easily. You can use
If you want a little more flavor and you have a sourdough starter, it’s an excellent addition.
