Breadmaker English Muffins. Not sure if this has been posted before. These are surprisingly easy to make and way cheaper than buying. The recipe below is off the internet and worked well. I didn't have cornmeal so used wholemeal flour at step 4 and it was fine. I cut them out using a 450g tin so they were smaller than the bought ones, recipe made 18, but could fit more into the pan. I cooked the first lot right at the end of the dough cycle, and left the others to rise for 20 mins or so. Found no difference, they all turned out the same. I found they cooked faster than the recipe said and that I needed to keep a reasonably close eye on them.
1 cup milk 3 tablespoons butter 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons sugar 3 cups all-purpose flour (or more) 1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast cornmeal Directions: 1 Put ingredients in the machine in the order listed. 2 Start the dough cycle. 3 When the cycle is finished. 4 Sprinkle corn meal over your work area. 5 Use your hands to pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. 6 Turn the dough so that each side gets lightly coated with cornmeal. 7 Cut into 8 to 10 rounds. 8 An empty large tuna can works well When you run out of dough gather up the trimmings and cut more rounds. 9 Place the rounds on a baking sheet, cover and let rise for 20- 30 minutes--until not quite double. 10 Heat a dry cast iron skillet or griddle over a low flame. 11 (I do spray mine with Pam). 12 Cook the muffins about 5 to 7 minutes on each side. 13 They should be golden brown when you turn them. 14 Split the muffins with a fork or serrated knife and serve warm. 15 These freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave or toasted.

Thanks Artemis. I'll try your recipe.
I did something similar recently, though not using a bread machine, mixing the dough with enough flour to make a thickish batter. left it to rise till doubled in size, stirred it, then dropped large spoonsful onto a hot pan, in a similar way to when making pikelet's. turned when lightly browned. they worked well too. were rather moreish actually!

I am going to give english muffins a try -just a quick question the only iron skillet I have is rippled - can I use my non stick frypan or could I cook them in the oven

Hi Gerry. yes, use the non-stick pan. in the oven they'd come out more like rolls. I used a stainless steel pan with great results. enjoy your goodies :-)

Cheers juliewn - I made them yesterday -remembered I had an old electric frypan buried in the back of the cupboard so used that - they turned out spot on - would certainly make them again

Pheebs you have done better than me then. At least yours worked in the oven! I have given up on my breadmaker as it never rises enough. My first breadmaker had no probs. today i tried juliewns basic recipe. first problem. I have no hot water cupboard so i left it in the sun and it rose nicely. The sun went away and i thought i needed more heat so put it in the warm oven.not too warm it had cooled a lot. Because my oven is small i jammed my rolls onto a tray

A slice tray. and some in a loaf tin. The tray ones expanded sideways and the loaf one not much. i should have left the loaf to rise further but no i took them out to pre heat the oven then put them on fan bake since using 2 racks at 210 . After 25 mins they were golden, flat as, crunchy, poor excuses for bread! Any suggestions welcomed for next time! My kids at least r not fussy.

Thanks lbell. I successfully made your yummy twirls today. Happy kids at home time! No need to throw away the breadmaker just yet! I will try out juliewn's bread again soon. New yeast, at room temp, sunny day to double in size, not so sticky dough. I needed to add an extra half a cup of flour today and it was still slightly sticky.
