These English Muffins are delicious as is but you can also take it up a notch by making them into a Egg & Cheese muffin, but wait add sausage or ham and boom, delicious breakfast! Mix up the dough the night before to ferment the sourdough. Learn how I make these Sourdough English Muffins the easy way! Recipe inspired by Little Spoon Farms.

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 besides the cornmeal in a stand mixer (or by hand) using a dough hook and knead for 5 minutes on low speed. Cover and let sit to ferment on the counter overnight.
2. The next morning: 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 I end up with 8-10. 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. Slice & Enjoy!
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″)
