Perfect Homemade English Muffins Recipe

How to make incredibly delicious homemade English muffins that are so much better than store-bought! Our surprisingly easy, no-knead recipe uses simple ingredients to create a light, airy texture and the nooks and crannies we love.

The English muffin dough takes a while to rise since we do it slowly in the fridge. This slow rise makes the English muffin dough easier to work with and the flavor vastly improves with the extra time. To make things easy, I like making my dough on one day, proof overnight in the fridge, and then form and cook the next day. See the tips in the recipe on Inspired Taste for how to make these in one day.

Recently, I got into baking, and this was the first recipe I baked! I did the overnight method, and my family absolutely adores the muffins! The first time I made it, we finished everything in two days, and I did double to last at least a week! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Looks great--love English muffins! Going to try these plant-based as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and possible BLV in dairy and the lead and choline in eggs. Thanks for sharing

Ooh my gosh, I love English muffins!
I wonder if I could use gluten free flour? I'm gluten free so I have to cook like that.

What if you don't have a stand mixer? Possible still?

Thanks for this video. Curious to try these because organic English muffins are about $1/each. :O

I hadn't used sour cream, nor put them on a skillet before baking, nor left them in the refrigerator to rise. I guess that's wy mine were just okay.
