Ingredients:

½ Cup Active Sourdough starter
1 Tablespoon honey or sugar
1 Cup milk
3 Cups flour
1 Teaspoon salt
¼ Cup Cornmeal (for sprinkling)

 

Directions

1. The night before mix all the ingredients together (not the cornmeal) with your hands until well combined. Cover and let rest for 30- 60 minutes.  Knead by hand or use a stand mixer and knead using the dough hook for 5 minutes on low speed.  Cover and let sit to ferment on the counter overnight.

2. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press the dough out until 1” thickness using your hands.

3. Using a 3” biscuit cutter cut out as many as you can typically 8-10 and place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let rise (I place mine uncovered in my oven turned off). Let rise for approx. one hour.

4. Preheat your skillet (preferred cast iron) over LOW heat. Place 3-4 muffins into the skillet spaced apart, COVER and COOK the first side for 4 minutes. Flip the muffins over COVER and COOK for another 4 minutes. 

Egg & Cheese Muffin
Scramble 10-12 eggs with ¼ cup milk and place into a preheated skillet (cast iron) and flip over to cook evenly (this may need to be done in sections).  Once done place cheese slices on top and allow to melt. Using the 3” biscuit cutter cut the egg into portions.  After slicing the English muffins, layer the egg in the middle.  You could also add ham or sausage! They are best fresh but can be frozen for later.

Cast Iron (I love the Lodge brand, my fav size is 12")
