Stephanie is a fantastic teacher. I've been baking for a while yet any time I'm going to try something new I search to see if she's done a video about it. Her very thorough instruction most often makes sense of the recipe I'm contemplating and sometimes I'll switch to the one she's making.

[@karminiparsan4440]

Another winner Stephanie...always foolproof..Thank you..

[@sc120o2]

Love everything she bakes. Thank you, Stephanie

[@Rockmachine99]

If you don't have a tart ring-you could use some tuna cans-just remove lids, bottom, and labels and wash.

[@gardengalsu]

*Trouble is, these days the cans are designed for stacking, so you CAN'T open both ends. :(( Anyway, liked your idea! :-))*

[@MrScotttraynor]

@@gardengalsu what i did recently is i need to take food with pain meds at time, so keep the bigger cans of chicken (much wider) and took my dremel with a cutoff wheel and cut/sanded the bottom off, didnt bother with the tuna/catfood cans.. too smale

[@Forevertrue]

Thank you Mrs. Jaworski another good one. I appreciate how you enjoy what you bake! Thanks Again.

[@dextor10478]

I have been following your recipes since you had a brown kitchen 😊 your recipes are fool proof. You were already so good back then, but you are perfect example of "there's no limit to perfection". When I feel this couldn't get any better, you do get better! Good luck and thank you for teaching me bake. *hugs and love from Australia*

[@cdcanada7182]

I made these this morning. They turned out great!!! Thanks Stephanie.

[@unsq8i]

I love the sound you make while tasting your food ❤️👍🏻

[@Theanimegir38]

I feel hungry when you taste it thank you so much for all your recipes Ban from Jordan 🇯🇴

[@deborahnarendorf7106]

Just had one with butter...well half because my husband ate the other half. My gosh they are delicious! A real keeper! I agree they are better than store bought! Thanks so much.

[@pinkpinsofpain]

How cool!! I didn't realize English muffins were so easy to make.

[@BethyKable]

I love English muffins and enjoy any creative ideas like this.....thanks so much !

[@renitameares3838]

They look wonderful. I have to try this recipe!

[@flowerchild777]

I'm thankful to have stumbled across this perfect recipe. I love English muffins

[@goldenleaves8777]

Thank u for this recipe, stefani. really love this. try to recook this recipe this weekend.

[@PastleLif3]

It looks so good!

[@sharonlatour6230]

Thanks Stephanie! The English muffins look good. I'm going to make these!

[@chrisb5391]

Thanks for the recipe. I have tried some your recipes and love that you take so much time to give us tried and tested recipes. And for some people it must really be nice to always be right. Keep up the good work!

[@cfx3]

I really like how you explain the reasoning behind some of the ingredients or steps.

[@bgm1911]

I love Stephanie's enthusiasm (at 0:33) when talking about what she is getting ready to bake.

[@muziczone1]

Love English muffins. Thanks for the recipe.

[@Ileanainbliss]

I love your recipes!

[@miretter330]

Looks lovely !!

[@paulinewqi]

Thanks for sharing. I do love English muffins with some spread, alternative to bread

[@pat4005]

I have made the most tasty English muffins from a recipe very similar to this many years ago. Then life happens and I lost track of the recipe. I was so glad to finally find yours because it is a thick batter just like the recipe I lost, and not a dough that I have to roll out, etc.

[@jamess7443]

Since the first time I made this recipe about 2 months ago, I've made it every week since. So fast and easy, my family has always liked English muffins on Saturday mornings. Making them fresh is a real treat.

[@Jennj0128]

Stephanie I have a lot of bread flour and need to use it. If I make these English muffins using the bread flour, is there any ingredient I need to add or omit? Thank you

[@tamaratamtammorris8151]

I love English muffins! They're so easy to make and taste way better than the store bought ones. I haven't made any for a while, so thanks for uploading a recipe to remind me to make them again :D

[@Barbarra63297]

Ordered the rings, can't wait to make these. Can't get them here in Danmark and as a born and raised Ohio girl I miss my English muffins! Thanks for another great video!

[@charaningole8242]

very awesome and nice

[@marydecosta5730]

I actually made these a couple of weeks ago and they came out nice. I am going to make some more.

[@IgorChernovHere]

I don't even cook myself that often, but I still enjoy watching this.

[@jamess7443]

I’m so excited to make this recipe 😋

[@sudhapatel2332]

Excellent presentation, like your recipe with details of ingredients (measurements of cups, tsp), methods, & useful tips. Thanks.

[@jamesmerv]

Woow,great Ma'am I was searching for this..Now I can try, thanks &bye!!

[@joanmarine9020]

My husband said it was the best English muffin that he ever tasted! I tried many recipes and this was the easiest and the tasting. Thank so much

[@jamesmerv]

Thanks Ma'am for my request,I will definitely going to try this..Bye!!

[@gyqz]

You could (=should) make egg McMuffins with these, because homemade is always better than McDonald's....and way healthier! Thank you for this delicious video!

[@latteauk]

The dog is adorable!

[@dcwatashi]

Anyway.. Stephanie.. I could never get bread to rise in my kitchen and I started turning the oven light on to keep my plants warm and then last year decided hey what the heck let's try proofing my bread in here. It really makes a big difference

[@michaelhooyman4453]

I've been making English muffins for many years, and I use, 1 and half cups of warm milk and 1/4 cup of warm water, plus I added 1 tsp baking powder for the rise... ( the only difference) I like the dough runny even more like pancake batter, so I can spoon it to the rings... Every thing else in your recipe is the same as your's .... They are the best out there.... The are a lot of other recipes out there, and if you have to kneed the dough, your making bread.... that's not a English Muffin at all. Thanks for sharing your way of making a real English Muffins...

[@karenkimberley241]

Thanks Stephanie 😊

Nice recipe

[@ymimad49]

I usd to make these and I sometimes used them as little mini pizzas with cheese and toppings. yummy. think I will make some today.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

Awesome thanks, can you make a recipe for ezekiel bread?

[@terryl.9302]

I bet these wd also be fabulous w/ Cornmeal; touch of sourdough starter too ?? A Polish bakery in our OH town used to make a soft corncake I'm trying many yrs later to duplicate. Texture here looks exactly right. *Good clear simple explanation of this recipe. Thx.

[@jsartnfeast5259]

Hi mam how are you I really love your recipes all also the video which is chocolate banana cake you have showed is really amazing I just tried it if there is any special in our home we doing cake in our home thank you mam may God bless you and your family

[@louisp4507]

Can I make the dough the night before? Love seeing a new recipe each week!

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, you could do that.

[@josie7244]

I love videos Stephanie you explain things really easily. Thanks also for putting measurements in metric as well

[@Barbarra63297]

Question, the rings i got are about 1'' high, should I put a bit more batter in so that when I flip them they will brown on the other side in case they don't release and go to the bottom of the ring when flipped? Also, since they will be a bit thicker do I bake them a couple mins extra?

[@Fatimafatima-yo3ni]

Nice

[@krankywitch]

Interesting that you eat them ‘raw’. My Family is English and we split and toast them, otherwise they just taste like scones. My mum got them cooked through on the griddle by putting a lid on once she flipped them. Try them as the base for Eggs Benedict - just perfect :)

[@karinschroeder1944]

Caution proofing dough in your oven with the light on. Check the temp. Mine actually gets to about 90F after 30 minutes! I learned the hard way as it really dried out dough in the bottom of a stainless bowl. Yeast dough will rise in cool temp (even your refrigerator) but will take more time. I live in Florida, in summer house is mid 70s, avg 75F but in winter it's 65 to 70 and same dough recipe takes about 15 mins longer. There's no rush (unless you need to be somewhere else) the dough will be fine.

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, if the room temperature is cool, the dough will take longer to proof. Conversely, if the temperature is hotter, then the proofing time is shorter. It is really nice to have an infrared thermometer when proofing. That way you can monitor the temperature of the proofing container and the dough. If you are placing the dough in the oven with the light on, if you use the thermometer you can check the temperature inside your oven. If it gets too high, just turn off the light.

[@oohyllab]

I just made these from another recipe on YT but wish I'd done yours instead. That recipe called to ferment the dough18 hrs, & they smell like beer so badly. Taste alright, but... & that was my first time w/ EM's! Really appreciate your channel. The other one is a professional baker too, just a different recipe for these. Is your electric griddle teflon? I've been leery of getting teflon anymore but it works so well for non stick & I NEED a griddle, ha! Thanks for all your great posts.

[@iriamonge1704]

Can I add the yeast to the mil already with the milk, salt ... or should I add the yeast first and the rest later?

[@jasu1943]

Can you make 100% whole-wheat bread, I like the way you bake

[@foziaiqbal6582]

Amazing 😍🤩 interesting 🤔🤔

[@fleurm7918]

Looking for an extra large griddle as such, what type is the one you’re using and and your ratings on it? Thank you and love your videos ❤️🤗

[@joyofbaking]

I use an All-Clad electric griddle. I really like it.

[@fleurm7918]

Joy of Baking thank you so much 🤗

[@yeeyingtan5648]

Hi, can I bake under low heat at gas stok pan only? No oven bake.

[@Elizabeth-ju5dy]

Have you ever made Portuguese Cornbread? I would appreciate getting some help with this.

[@glendacrosbywilkins4246]

Thank you so much for this recipe....I'm sure I'll be making these in the morning...!

[@stephaniehamilton2204]

Yummy 😋

[@KitaraKaori]

Thank you Stephanie!, do you think I can use vegetal milk? I cant take lactose

[@joyofbaking]

That should be okay.

[@marjanyd2234]

We love it when you say "isn't that gorgeous"

[@bujiknits]

can you do an english muffin bread loaf?

[@AussieAngeS]

Those look wonderful, I’ll be making them this weekend. Can you freeze them ok Stephanie?

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, they freeze very well.

[@fatimahsyedidrus46]

[@jamess7443]

I have an over abundance of bread flour that I would like to use. Would I have to change much to use for these English muffins? Or would it ruin them?

[@joyofbaking]

You could use bread flour but it will affect the texture a little.

[@CarolineSanders100]

I've never understood why we make a well in the center of the flour, and in other dough recipes it doesn't say to make a well. Not judging but I'm just curious if you know, why the well? Thank you in advance. I love this channel and have made several of your recipes successfully because your instructions are so precise. I also weigh everything because of you 😁

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

StorytimeMarie In many recipes they say to make a well. Probably to make it easier to mix, and not get as many lumps?

[@Hedgehobbit]

Making a well keeps the liquid from sticking to the sides of the bowl which is a pain if you are mixing with a wooden spoon or fork. However, since most of us have rubber spatulas now, a well isn't really necessary anymore.

[@CarolineSanders100]

I hate using wooden stuff in the kitchen. Thank you for your response. Do you think that's the same reason they say "mix the dry into the wet, and not the wet into the dry"? I think some of these rules may be outdated.

[@Hedgehobbit]

That's why I like America's Test Kitchen. They seem to take a more scientific approach and try various techniques to see if they are actually needed.

[@ImranShaikh-mb7xr]

What's the shelf life of finished product (after its baked)?

[@sculder85]

Could you make shoofly pie please?

[@ranataladar]

Yummy😋😋😋😋😋💗💗💗

[@coronaphone710]

Thanks for the recipe, i'm an what you call in your country: An incel, only without the involuntary part. I'm baking a like a lot lately. Greetings from Holland

[@elizabethwilliams1523]

Stephanie, can you make "Welsh cakes". They are similar to griddle cakes. Thanks

[@joyofbaking]

I do have a recipe and video for Welsh Cakes. www.joyofbaking.com/WelshCakes.html

[@elizabethwilliams1523]

Joy of Baking. Looking forward to you making them. Diolch (that's thank you in Welsh) x

[@paulyngoi529]

Thank you for the recipe. I cannot find the rings that you use. Maybe I can use aluminium foil to shape them into rings. Will try it out. 😀

[@oregonpatriot1570]

Stephanie...... if you know for SURE that your active yeast is fine, do you still have to proof it?

[@joyofbaking]

Most recipes say to activate it just to be sure it’s good, but I sometimes don’t bother.

[@anjnag6965]

In my children’s school they made mini pizzas out of English muffins since then I started making them for my children’s parties. Very nice recipe but should i invest in those muffins rings, that’s a question?

[@AJL04B]

Just watch your rice pudding recipe(2011), the recipe is delicious and you look younger here.

[@shubzi]

It doeznt have egg in it..?

[@naaad8603]

Can i do it day before and what of i don't have the ring?

[@fairouzagha7975]

Hellen Larsby You can use empty can opened from both sides.

[@sandraanzaldo1665]

You can also use the rings from the canning jars.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Can one substitute cow milk with almond, or coconut milk? I am allergic to cow milk. Would be nice to see alternative baking on this channel if possible. Been a follower for years.

[@yashnamjoshi4732]

If anyone is using active dry yeast, then maybe add the salt to the flour, rather than the proofing liquid, so you don't kill your yeast

[@joyofbaking]

If you are using active dry yeast, I would heat 1/3 cup (80 ml/grams) of the milk and then stir in the yeast. Once activated you could add it to the rest of the liquid.

[@jessicaz.1901]

Wonder if a Mason jar lid would work for a ring?

[@joannehollingsworth6218]

Jessica Zaborski Yes, wide mouth size is perfect!.

[@jessicaz.1901]

Joanne Hollingsworth Thanks!

[@Joesmith-fu4ps]

If that batter was a bit more loose and you added a touch of baking soda, I'd say there are more like crumpets.

[@sydneyhaydock7805]

Why not show Lancashire England , oven bottom muffins? entirely different.

[@kevinbyrne4538]

Individual pizzas: Spread tomato sauce on each half, put shredded mozzarella on top, and then broil them until the cheese melts.

[@junieharracksingh]

I need a recipe.

[@joyofbaking]

There is a link to the written recipe in the first line of the description.

[@mariamkinen8036]

I guess I am good with my Anglo American values.In English. Where I am in my comfort zone. Thanks.🙃

[@MrKabloona]

Title of video should be: ("Crumpet" makes English muffins). Thanks for the recipe Stephanie, I have a Lodge cast iron English muffin ....thing but I have never used it. I will give it and this recipe a try tonight.

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, the lines between an English Muffin and a Crumpet are small as they look alike and are both cooked on a griddle. But since a Crumpet is only baked on one side, and to not confuse things, this recipe is for English Muffins. I guess I will have to do another video for Crumpets.:)

[@MrKabloona]

Forgive me, my comment was meant to be a bit tongue and cheek. "Crumpet" is a slang for a beautiful woman. As you are an attractive woman the title I mentioned would be correct. I would like to see a video on how to make Crumpets. .....A "Crumpet" makes Crumpets... haha BTW, your video on lemon-ginger-almond scones has become a bit of a "go-to" recipe. 'have made them several times.

[@joyofbaking]

Didn't know that. Thank you for the compliment.

[@MyraL425]

What size ice cream scoop did you use?

[@simongriffiths5261]

We don't have those in England :D

[@chrissuter4107]

Stick with one form of measument., metric or standard.

[@joyofbaking]

We have a worldwide audience and some people use cups and some use weight measurements, so we will always give both.

[@chrissuter4107]

@@joyofbaking I get it. I haven't found a European cooking video yet that caters to America. I know how to translate. I do like your videos. Other than the dual measurement thing. Have a great weekend.

[@joyofbaking]

You may want to consider switching to grams yourself because volume measurement in cups is very inaccurate. I have a video that shows how the amount of flour can vary as much as 25% depending how you put the flour in the cup. That error can make or break a recipe. Personally I always use gram measurement. Here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHeWp3mDjrSAbrs

[@johankarlsson9272]

And Egg Royal or Egg Benedict...

[@dcwatashi]

Ah! Both of you are wrong. Found this on a food site: Crumpets are made only using baking soda, where as English muffins are made with yeast or sourdough (and occasionally a little baking soda to help things along). Crumpets are cooked only on one side, so the bottom is flat and toasted while the top is speckled with holes (delicious, butter-absorbing holes...)

[@PastleLif3]

dcwatashi yup you’re 100% right! Why people have to find faults at others!

[@dcwatashi]

Qimat Sindy I wasn't 100% sure so I thought what the heck why not just do a little research. But I'm kind of glad this question was raised because now I have realized that I prefer crumpets LOL 😁😀🤣

[@aminataykanu]

dcwatashi you are right that they are not quite crumpets. They are probably more like blinis than crumpets. I may be wrong but I believe what the English call muffins are what Americans call English muffins. They are actually like flat bread rolls.

[@Hedgehobbit]

In 1769, an English businesswoman by the name of Elizabeth Raffald published a cook book called The Experienced English Housekeeper. In it, she has a recipe for Tea Crumpets which were similar to this recipe; warm milk and barm (their equivalent of yeast) mixed with flour and cooked on a griddle. They were only cooked on one side and toasted before serving. She also says that they should be the size of your saucer. Baking soda didn't show up as a product until 1848 (although wood ash was used for a similar purpose for hundreds of years before then.) You can download this cookbook at ia800204.us.archive.org/6/items/experiencedengl01raffgoog/experiencedengl01raffgoog.pdf

[@Forevertrue]

They are lying.

[@honestcomments6060]

Liquids are measured in milliliters and solids in grams. nice videos btw :)

[@joyofbaking]

Thank you. Actually liquids can be measured using either volume or grams.

[@bearheart2009]

Theyre quite flat muffins, they look more like griddle scones. The texture looks good though.

[@aminataykanu]

That's not an English muffin, what you've made is a crumpet.

[@aawad]

I was literally just going to say that it looks like a Crumpet. Hmm.

[@aminataykanu]

Alex Coward Haha! I beat you to it, mate. I would expect proper research from her. I like her baking though I've been using her recipes for 14 years.

[@joyofbaking]

They aren't crumpets. Crumpets are only cooked on one side. They are similar but not the same.

[@aawad]

They're certainly similar, but at least in the UK, we couldn't consider these as English muffins. in fact, you're right they're also not totally a crumpet either because of the cooking on one side. These are a sort of hybrid of the two. It's a nice interpretation, just not what we brits know to be as an authentic English muffin. I can't speak to what's prevalent in the US, but would you put one of these in a eggs benedict?

[@GrowingDownUnder]

no a crumpet has more air pockets, muffin is more dough
