Description

Deliciously tangy English muffins made with sourdough discard, perfect for toasting and spreading with your favorite toppings.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • Neutral oil or butter for greasing skillet


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together.
  2. Add sourdough discard, water, and honey. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead for 2–3 minutes, then rest the dough for 10 minutes.
  4. Roll out to ½ inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
  5. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Grease lightly.
  6. Cook each muffin for 5–6 minutes per side. Adjust heat as needed.
  7. Optionally finish in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes if still doughy.
  8. Cool completely. Serve toasted with butter, jam, or eggs.

Notes

Using sourdough discard at room temperature enhances the fermentation process. Adjust water based on flour type and humidity.
