Claire Makes BA's Best English Muffins | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

[@ULTIMATEINUYASHAFAN]

I will never get tired of how Claire explains things. Such a great teacher!! 😄

[@yolkyolk3148]

Ugh, Claire is just the best. She uses clear, concise language and really knows her audience (i.e. the average person cooking at home). No hoity toity BS here!

[@jessicaevans3592]

I really love the POV of these videos because when the camera is on the other side of the countertop it feels like you're in the kitchen with Claire and she's right in front of you teaching you how to do this, it's just very easy and friendly and creates a closeness which is interesting also the background conversations I'm so glad you leave in the background white noise

[@elnino4445]

Still waiting for Claire to make Eclair.

You ever notice Andy shows up at the end of every video and sort of hovers around the area to eat whatever the person made?

[@AKhan360]

lol he's smart

[@ChesireHeart]

i mean like, same

[@eronan03]

He comes off as perma-hungry. I can respect that.

[@jheckie14]

I'd do the same tbh

[@shadowmomo2007]

I’d eat Andy 🤫

[@joshoshoshoshosh]

10:45 "making something people think can only be store bought" - sounds like a terrific pitch for a series where a gourmet chef makes common snack foods...

[@hemulek]

Oh wait!..

[@r_u_z_z_e_l3]

I prefer using grams, so I'll share it to you guys😌 Recipe in grams for 12 english muffin 200g warm water 7.5g dry yeast 14g sugar 200g warm milk/butter milk 55g unsalted butter 26.5g vegetable oil 10g salt 420g bread flour corn meal/ corn grits (it depends on how much you want) oil spray

[@amandaxxcastilho]

YAS this channel is putting in the woooork this week. Love it.

[@chocolatesouljah]

Thumbs up for this recipe. I followed it pretty much to the letter, which I NEVER do. I wanted to make the recipe half whole wheat and use my homemade sourdough starter instead of yeast but decided to follow the first time as is and make my own variations next time. This is a very wet sticky dough this accompanying KZbin tutorial with the author's tips are helpful to see. I followed and it worked out just fine. The overnight refrigerator rise is a nice way for the flavors to meld and the dough to aerate. When I shaped the dough into rounds a let it proof for the 60-70 minute 2nd rise, my kitchen had that yeasty, fresh dough smell, which made me feel that I was on the right track. I found the portion size to be more generous than other recipes I've tried. Some expanded to small hamburger bun size, which I liked. More nooks and crannies. A few notes: • The buttermilk gave the finished product a nice tang reminiscent of sourdough. • I did not warm up the buttermilk. What's the point? It's going back in the refrigerator. • I used Bob's Red Mill Artisanal Unbleached Enriched Bread Flour. This is a fairly substantial flour as opposed to a Pillsbury or Gold Medal bread flours. • A dough scraper really doughs come in handy. • The 2 spatula method she used in the video helps for the first turn as the dough is still wobbly • I used a Kitchen Aid with the dough hook. Great recipe! if you have a fair amount of bread baking experience, this recipe may seem counter-intuitive, even with the dough hook and 5 minutes of kneading the result is more lava-like than clay, but I think if one follows the instructions and watches the video they will have good results. And now I am off to deliver freshly baked English muffins to my elderly neighbors who are sheltering. 4 each or the 2 of them and 4 for me to keep.

[@gabrielaskew1415]

all i want is for claire to teach me about true baking, while brad makes remarks in the background. you both are the best

[@thabzzzworld6740]

My love for Claire is too much

[@VlogUntilDawn]

I love that there’s been more Claire videos lately. She’s the best!

[@nicolle2126]

Yo that's the cutest apron i've ever seen

[@fabianflores6448]

Nicolle your mom.

[@commentcopbadge6665]

Almost as cute as the wearer of said apron.

[@klausoliveira3932]

I never thought I'd see the words "yo" and "cutest" in the same sentence.

[@menassies3224]

Thank you that is exactly how I feel

[@roelin360]

I read apron as 'porn'

[@ReNeyer]

I watched most of Claires videos yesterday while working and we get even more Claire this week? Awesome!

[@02leda]

I love Claire everything. Does she have her own playlist? (Not like I haven’t watched every video featuring her)

[@corymccorysoniii9957]

Haha. Before I finished reading this comment, I was thinking Spotify playlist. Both would be cool.

[@HansonsPassion]

I'm literally going through all the BA videos looking for ones with Claire or interesting ones with Brad 😅🤗😍

[@armanke13]

You can make playlist yourself, and make it public, try it

[@biancaela2920]

YAY! MORE VIDEOS WITH CLAIRE! (Edit: she’s so nice and it really shows that she knows what she’s doing

[@xlaunamx]

Claire is my favorite! She seems so nice :)

[@UberDoyle]

This video comes at a time when I was feeling deeply saddened by the fact that there are no good English Muffins in Toronto to make breakfast sammys with. Now I have the power.

[@aigoochamnaa]

I like before I even watch when it comes to Claire.

[@masinovs]

I really appreciate all the baking videos with Claire, and how much they teach/inform/explain

[@rbschult]

MORE CLAIRE THIS WEEK!? :D :O

[@suspected-alchemy]

Clair and Brad are my favorite hosts. Clair is so funny human and genuine in her segments.

[@GhostlordGames]

Claire is the moneymaker. Use Claire for all your videos!!!!

[@jonathanross149]

Claire with Brad commenting every so often to double the money.

[@TheRealMrMagic]

Lol. 😄Claire= the perfect recipe: Brad=Jersey flavored sprinkle on garnish... They would make the best show!

[@peptobismolveins]

She’s also a human! Just saying!

[@peldiman]

Claire, you're SUCH a master / sensei. I am in awe of your deep knowledge of food and cooking! Oh, and my mouth is watering. :)

[@danielkelly1596]

B R A D I N T H E B A C K

[@juliegellner231]

AND I note a Vincenzo with Brad spotting

[@JakeLovesSteak]

Wow, Claire is crankin' out lots of videos lately. I like it.

[@gonegone3050]

I love seeing Claire cooking 💗, she explains everything so well and she is an amazing cook, hoping to see more videos with her

[@yuu0A]

More of Claire! YEEEEEEES!

[@trevoreller976]

More Claire! she is a good teacher and makes cool stuff!

[@owenokay]

i love claire upload more of her

[@msabolijoshi]

"For your next brunch party" Claire I really love you but I think you need to know that if I'm living vicariously through online food videos I'm proooobably never going to host a brunch party hahaha

[@michaelphillips8960]

Claire is the coolest. Eglish muffins are great. This video is fantastic. PS it's cool Claire, I'm also a lefty and horrendous flipper.

[@elliedyer5074]

Michael Phillips lefties unite!

[@lospagnolofalso]

Omg same! I honestly do feel like it has something to do with it lol

[@probablysomedingus75]

There are dozens of us!

[@michaelphillips8960]

DOZENS!

[@jimmurphy5709]

Sinister...

[@SternVonAfrika]

i can watch her talk about absolutely anything and enjoy it

[@PwnageFury]

I have had one of those cast iron griddle/grills for years and it is amazingly useful. I use it more often than my skillet. I recommend it to anyone who cooks for more than one person. Cuts grilled cheese/pancake time in half with that much surface area to cook on.

[@lucaciprian8923]

"This is just to make sure that the yeast It's Alive"* *Brad's ™ 🤣

[@ririkemjemmer5784]

hands down my fave food channel

[@lildreamerqueen]

The reason I love Claire, and perhaps why other do too, is because she's explains what she's doing very well. She's a very good teacher!

[@philipandrews766]

I didn't realize how much I need an English muffin in my life until now

[@nm18996]

Claire is so beautiful.

[@48956l]

creepy

[@MayMay-qn2dd]

I world die for ClaireFromTheBonApettitTestKitchen

[@eyesonmf1211]

Thank you so much for this fantastic recipe, and video. After trying many recipes, including Paul Hollywood's recipe, I found yours to be by far the very best. They are actually fluffy, and light, every time! The dough is easy to make, to handle, and to work with,. Your tips in the video are very helpful!

[@runaway817]

Can we get daily videos featuring Claire, Brad or Andy? They're the greatest. EDIT: Carla, too!

[@FyrenRei]

Quality over quantity

[@nicolle2126]

okteej don't forget Carla

[@wish5765]

++ carla!! i love them!!

[@JakeLovesSteak]

Andy is annoying. Everyone else is great.

[@runaway817]

Oh yeah, Carla too!!

[@jolenezl]

Followed this recipe, came out wayyyyy better than store bought!! Thank you Claire!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mostlyamelie]

Ugh I love Claire

[@musicismylove92]

Claire, and everyone at BA, is so smart!! I love that these videos aren't just "here's how to make this!" but also "and here's why we are adding these ingredients and what to look for and how this helps the final product". Such great tips throughout :)

[@PatrickPoet]

Right now Claire is my favorite food vlogger. I wish she would tackle basics that didn't involve modern machines. You know that people cooked and baked before new spray oils or mixers. I know it isn't her thing -- it isn't at all the focus of this series, yet, it would be easy to follow her into the basics like this because she has developed trust with us.

[@qwertyTRiG]

There must be some SCA cooks on KZbin.

[@Litzie2129]

I love making Sour Dough English Muffins. Thank you Granny. I'll never stop loving you and Papa.

[@ed6tcyhbijnok]

She's my favv!

[@walterco7701]

She makes everything look so easy.

[@adeptalionable]

YESSS ANOTHER CLAIRE VIDEO!!!

[@JoanOH]

Made them today and they are perfect. Well shaped, lots of nooks and crannies. Wish I could send a pic. Thanks, Claire! This recipe is a keeper.

[@drvizeralkavokinstine5145]

Please try and make a gourmet cheez-it !!!!!! lol you know it was coming to this! - DRV

[@junkyardjim]

I've made them, that might be something too easy. It really is very very easy to make.

[@iamchristian815]

I love that she explained active dry yeast. It all makes so much more sense now!

[@veliaantila1099]

Thanks, will make some in my iron griddle, yours came out lovely.

[@paulagomez2043]

i just love Clair

[@PeckmasterK]

I liked this video a lot, but I really appreciate the variety of content on this channel. It is great to see so many culinary styles and how each host offers a unique perspective. Both Brad and Claire are particularly entertaining, but the hand crafted series, where we get to see incredible experts work is just awesome!

[@hbjy23]

YAY MORE CLAIRE!!!

[@hugo9846]

I started watching Claire videos about a week ago. I hope they never end.

[@bradenwoo4319]

Yay, more Claire

[@raspberrytwist]

Claire, you are amazing. I'm always in awe at all the things you are able to make. Everything looks absolutely delicious and bonus points for teaching the reasons behind stuff

[@tosht2515]

Not a great flipper because she's left handed. 😂 Very cool recipe. I've never seen how English muffins are made. Claire always delivers. 👍

[@lunayoureright]

Tosh T Gordon Ramsay is left handed, so...

[@elcat2577]

Tosh T being left handed has nothing to do with it, skill does have a lot to do with it though. ☺

[@ExaltedDuck]

Those were clearly right handed spatulas she was using.

[@carmengmail6852]

My daughter is left handed and is hard for her to turn things.

[@janani1826]

EL G statistically left handed people are more likely to have an accident in the workplace as most equipment is made for right handed people - same applies here (the angles )

[@kandrisa]

Claire, you are very encouraging and make me want to get back into the kitchen!

[@miaw629]

Claire please make a scone recipe!

[@vaughtlindsey]

Thank you for more Claire videos

[@davidofoo]

So much Claire recently. I'm in love O_O

[@jheckie14]

Thanks BA for all this content!

[@harleyserpa8334]

I love Claire 💕

[@zmasterb92]

Brad and Claire are my favorite internet people that make food

[@gtwindle]

I have a big fat crush on Claire and her food

[@LaNaeRossfound4u]

Clair, Thank You for this! You are so easy to listen to, great teacher!

[@fishermikoaj6578]

Really nice editing.

[@1972CB350]

I can't stop watching this channel!!!

[@nelvela567]

I love the way she looks

[@jordynelliott6712]

I’m loving this! More videos with Claire!!!

[@lekonU]

She’s my favorite

[@BreezedLightning]

Claire's explanations are top notch. I'd love to see her tackle Welsh cakes. Pure griddle cooking, and a cross between a cookie and a pancake - what's not to love?

[@owlversusdove]

i love her apron

[@hope_and_love]

I have made this recipe several times now and it's absolutely dynamite. My wife is asking for it again while we are watching. =D Claire, you do a wonderful job of explaining the technique so that I can grow as a baker. It's a fun bake and fast enough that I doubt I will ever go back to store bought.

[@dothienanduong6642]

More Claire!

[@lostlatinlover]

My appreciation for English Muffins just vastly increased! That's some real work!

[@jeremydolot2083]

I love Claire's eyes and the way she looks.

[@cooldudd21]

Claire is the best. I love this channel no other cooking channel like this

[@danm2203]

I don't even bake or cook. But still love these videos. Mostly her though lol

[@izzzbhh6257]

I’ve followed a pie making video and this is my next recipe to try! You’re making me a great chef!

[@wish5765]

I LOVE CLAIRE

[@TheVergile]

Having discovered and watched a few of your videos today I have to say: I adore both your hair and your baking skills.

[@ZyronDel]

Claire

[@DrMantisToboggan69]

Anything with Claire = yes please!

[@MakeSomething]

OMG! Need to try this right away!

[@ThePolinglong]

I tried this recipe and the muffins came out really soft and fluffy. They also have great aroma and taste great on their own. Thanks for the recipe! 👍

[@rluna327]

Did you have to add flour? When I tried this recipe, my dough was super wet, like pancake batter. 1 cup water + 1 cup buttermilk = 2 cups liquid to 3.5 cups (420 grams) of flour seems like a high ratio of liquid to flour. I ended up having to add about another cup for the dough to be manageable at all.

[@AccioNox]

MORE. MORE of Claire and Brad. OR just Claire.

[@TheRonmartinez]

Claire’s my fave. Can’t wait to make these this weekend.

[@wishywashy2488]

Just out of curiosity, is the camera person here also Vinny?

[@laurensmith9579]

No he actually is in the background at one point. 4:16 ish

[@leilanistillwell8661]

I JUST made these ! They look lovely ! Will let you know how they taste tomorrow 💕

[@geoffrysoo2975]

Lefties where you at?

[@Zvox]

sup? oh wait you're not talking about politics my bad

[@777LoveStory]

She said lefties not leftists.

[@brettyokum7473]

Lefty here!

[@kevspss]

Well I’m right cheer. Andy Griffith reference.

[@hannahmore9118]

I hate that Kitchenaid doesn't offer a left-handed mixer!

[@ElizabethYanes14]

Yessssss. All the Claire videos!!

[@StanleyElleven]

Yaaass moar claire food vids! :D

[@SimchainIsrael]

Thank you! I love how you educate us att every step imma sound sooo smart!!

[@jujubees]

If you don't have buttermilk you can use milk and add vinegar to it.

[@andiesbeauty]

Julie L lemon juice works the same just let it rest for 5 minutes or so

[@jujubees]

It does indeed!

[@iluvearth99]

+

[@courtneymichelle5746]

Julie L I used that tip once it works well

[@naycnay]

You can also buy a load of cream, stick it in the oven and make buttermilk. You'll end up with heaps of clotted cream as a side product though.

[@larryweller7948]

I really appreciate your videos you share and your effort you give on Brad's special projects. You are very talented. Your hair looks nice when it is down and wavy. Thank you.

[@TurnOntheBrightLights.]

Claire looks cute in that fruity apron.
