Baking and Enjoying This Recipe

What Makes Bim's Sourdough English Muffins Special?

This recipe calls for milk, honey, egg and levain and results in a tangier flavor than everyday English Muffins which are typically yeasted. Discard can be used instead of active starter, but fermentation time will be longer.
These English Muffins freeze really well, so you may want to double or triple the recipe and freeze whatever you won't be eating right away.

Tips for Success

This is an intermediate to advanced recipe, with a fairly wet dough.
If you want to make them without added a sugar, the honey can be replaced with an equal weight of butter.
For added flavor/nutrition, you can substitute up to 25% of the flour for whole wheat. You may need to increase the amount of milk 10-20g depending on how strong and thirsty the whole wheat is.

How To Eat

in Britain, muffins are usually lightly toasted, slathered with butter and eaten 'as is'. Or topped with added jam, marmite, or marmalade. But thanks to the golden arches, it's not uncommon to eat one American-style, as a sandwich, with fried egg, bacon and cheese.
