The English breakfast is probably one of the most famous breakfasts in the world. It consists of fried sausages, a fried egg, beans in tomato sauce and mushrooms served with crispy bread. The English most often serve crisp-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside English muffins with this kind of breakfast. You can enjoy them at your breakfast too, not necessarily in the English style. Making English muffins is extremely simple and you don’t even need an oven. They stay fresh for up to 3 days, have a slightly sweet taste and also freeze well – so it’s worth preparing a larger batch right away, because we’re sure they’ll disappear from the table in no time!
Recipe for English muffins – skillet buns
Preparation:
Heat the milk to approx. 35⁰C. Add the honey and yeast. Stir and leave for 10 minutes to foam. At the same time, put the flour and salt into a large bowl. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the cooled butter, the milk with yeast, and the egg to the bowl with flour. Knead the dough with a mixer (using dough hooks) for about 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour. The mixture should be tacky, but the dough should easily pull away from the sides of the bowl while mixing. Generously grease a second bowl with oil. Transfer the dough to it, then drizzle the top with oil as well. Leave to rise for 1 hour. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 2 cm. Cut out 8 rounds using, for example, a larger mug or cup. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then generously sprinkle with cornmeal. Transfer the buns onto it and dust the tops with cornmeal. Leave to rise for 30 minutes. Heat a pancake pan, and if you are using a pan without a special non-stick coating, lightly brush it with oil first. Place 3–4 buns in the pan, leaving space between them (they will rise significantly). Cook for about 7 minutes on each side. After cooking, you can finish the buns by splitting them and toasting the insides as well. Store the buns in a bread bin or in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Once frozen, you can store them for up to 2 months!
