Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 deciliters Lukewarm milk
  • 45 grams Softened butter
  • 1.5 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 Lightly beaten egg
  • 540 grams Flour
  • 2.5 teaspoons Dry yeast
  • Semolina for sprinkling the pan

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients (except the semolina) in a mixing bowl. The dough that forms is very soft.
  • Work the dough until very stretchy. This will be slightly trickier than with most doughs as this one is very soft.
  • When the dough is stretchy enough, scrape it into a rough ball. Cover the bowl and let rise for 1 to 2 hours until puffy.
  • When the dough is nice and puffy, spread just a bit of oil on a pan (preferably two to save time) and sprinkle a lot of semolina on it.
  • Deflate the dough and divide it into 14-16 pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and flatten the balls until the diameter of each of them is about 7-7.5 cm.
  • Place as many of the muffins as you can on the pan sprinkled with semolina without the muffins touching each other. Lay the rest on a baking sheet that you have sprinkled with semolina. Sprinkle some more semolina on top of all the muffins. Cover the muffins and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Cook the muffins over a low heat for 7-15 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely and serve.

Notes

  • When you cook them, do not let touch each other on the pan.
  • English muffins can be eaten with either sweet or savory fillings.
  • They are perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
