HOMEMADE ENGLISH MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Measure the bread flour into the bowl. Add in all the other ingredients apart from the semolina which is for dusting the muffins before they're cooked.
• Mix this together until it forms a soft dough. Tip this out onto the work surface and begin to knead it.
• Knead the dough for between 5 - 10 minutes until it forms a smooth and stretchy dough.
• Grease a clean bowl with olive oil and pop the kneaded dough into it to rise. Cover with a clean tea-towel and put it somewhere that's not in direct sunlight or cool draughts.
• Leave to double in size, this should take about an hour.
• Sprinkle half of the semolina out onto a baking tray. Divide the dough into 8 roughly equal sized pieces and shape them into balls. Place them on the baking tray and cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for about 30 minutes.
• At the end of that time, dust the tops of the balls with the remaining semolina and warm your non-stick frying pan on a medium to low heat. Add some butter to the pan until is sizzles.
• Place a ball of dough into the pan and let it cook for about 5 minutes. If your pan is large enough you can fit in more pieces of dough.
• At the end of this time, turn the muffins over, they should be golden brown coloured, and cook the other side for a further 5 minutes.
• Pre-heat the oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F
• When all the muffins have been cooked in the frying pan place them on a baking tray. Pop this into the oven and cook for a further 5 minutes. This ensures that the muffins are cooked through.
• Place them on a cooling rack and leave for about an hour before trying one.
• Your English muffins are now ready. Now search out the butter and try one!
