SOURDOUGH ENGLISH MUFFINS Makes 1 dozen 3-inch muffins
These English muffins are tangy, just as they should be. Keep a stash in the freezer so
that you won’t have to buy them at the grocery store. Homemade English muffins are
worth the work. I found an old-fashioned smooth-rimmed biscuit cutter with a tiny red
handle at a tag sale at my local church that I use just for these muffins. They are fan-
tastic with Lemon Curd with Mint. Split with a fork or with your fingers.

Place all the ingredients in the pan according to the order in the manufacturer’s in-
structions. Program for the Dough cycle; press Start. The dough ball will be soft
and very slightly moist. The softer you leave the dough, the lighter the muffin will
be. You can add a bit more flour when you remove the dough from the machine.
