1/2 cup sourdough discard (140 grams)

1/2 cup whole wheat flour (60 grams)

Wskazówki

Mix warm milk, melted butter, sourdough discard, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl and let sit for a few minutes. Next, add flour, salt, and cinnamon and mix with a dough whisk or wooden spoon until a slightly sticky dough begins to form.

Add raisins and continue mixing until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Scrape sides of bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size which should take 60-90 minutes.

After dough has doubled in size (or after chilling dough overnight), dump onto floured surface and press or roll out to about a 1-inch thickness. Cut rounds with a 3-inch biscuit cutter or drinking glass/jar.* Reshape scraps by stacking them, re-rolling, and cutting. I like to get about 9-10 but if you like thinner English Muffins you can roll them a bit thinner and get about 12.

When you have all muffins shaped, place them on a pan lined heavily with cornmeal or semolina flour. Dust both sides well. Cover the muffins and allow to rise for about an hour until puffy and light. If your dough came straight from the refrigerator this can take about 2 hours. You want these nice and puffy before you fry them.

Preheat an electric skillet to 300 degrees or a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, and place risen muffins in, leaving a bit of space between each one. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook on second side for another 5-7 minutes, covered. At this point I like to reduce the heat to about 200-250, flip the muffins a few more times until the internal temp registers 195-200 degrees F. You can also pop them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes to finish cooking. This extra cooking time will depend on the thickness. I like mine on the thicker side so I almost always give them an extra few minutes.

Remove to cooling rack and allow to cool to room temperature.
