Ben Starr, the Ultimate Food Geek, teaches you the easiest way to make sourdough English muffins that are a bit more authentic (ie, more like crumpets, which they technically are), and less like the tasteless, cardboard muffins from the grocery store.

HOW TO MAKE STARTER: • The Easiest Way to Mak...
TOYS:
My favorite scale (restaurant grade, takes normal AA batteries or plug-in): amzn.to/3I71Ni5
Brodpisker / Danish bread whisk (rapidly incorporates batter/dough without overdeveloping gluten): amzn.to/49g8jPB
Baking Rings (These double as ring molds and are dishwasher safe, but there are MANY varieties available on Amazon, including nonstick): amzn.to/49gFe6P
2 fluid ounce capacity ice cream scoop (You can find them a few bucks cheaper, but I often find that cheaper models break. Note, this scoop is blue and is labeled #16, but it is the same capacity as the yellow scoop I use in the video.): amzn.to/3utX7js
Electric griddle (slim height for conservative storage, larger cooking surface than most electrics, pricier than cheaper models but sturdier...I've had mine for years): amzn.to/42IRBpC
Cast iron griddle (pre-seasoned and ready to go, but heavy): amzn.to/49H5Tt4
Non-contact infrared thermometer: amzn.to/48idbT1
Probe thermometer (This is their CHEAP model, which takes several seconds to get a reading. You can spend more to get a faster thermometer, which is valuable for taking temps in the oven without letting out all the heat...but for stovetop applications only, isn't necessary.): amzn.to/3SAdcMm
Oven gloves (Way thicker but still more dexterous than the cheaper, thinner models): amzn.to/48crbha
(Clearly, I'm an Amazon affiliate. If you buy something from these links, I'll get a few cents. Thanks!!)
RECIPE:
Yields about 8 three-inch English muffins.
NOTE: This recipe makes VERY moist muffins. They are designed for storage and toasting before eating...not for eating just after cooking. Be sure you toast or griddle these before eating.
In a large bowl, combine:
2oz / 57g sourdough starter (ideally at 100% hydration and does not have to be recently fed)
6oz / 170g water
6oz / 170g buttermilk (or ANY fermented dairy liquid, like kefir. If you only have access to thicker fermented diary, dilute 3oz / 85g yogurt/sour cream/creme fraiche/labneh, etc. with the same amount of water or milk)
2 Tbsp / 1oz / 28g unsalted butter (melted)
Whisk until smooth. Then add:
10oz / 283g AP flour (bread flour is also okay, but don't sub more than 4oz whole grain flours in this recipe and expect it to turn out well)
1tsp coarse salt (or 1/2 tsp fine salt) or about 0.2oz / 6g
1 tsp double-acting baking powder (NOT baking soda)
Stir until the batter is mostly smooth and free of large lumps. Cover and rise at least 12 hours, up to 24 hours. Be certain the batter has at least doubled in volume before proceeding.
Preheat a griddle to 350-375F (175-190C). (A starting temp of up to 390ish is fine, as long as the griddle cools to about 350F when the batter hits it. The ideal continual cooking temp is at or just above 350F.)
Spray/butter/oil the inside of your cooking rings. Butter or oil the griddle surface. Scoop 2 fl oz / 1/4 cup batter into each three-inch baking ring, and jiggle to center the batter in the ring. Cook 4 minutes. Flip the rings carefully, and gently tap down the muffin inside the ring so that it lies flat against the cooking surface. Cook another 4 minutes. To be certain they are done, take the internal temp of the CENTER of the muffin, which should be at 195F / 90C or slightly above.
Cool fully, and ideally at least 24 hours, before opening. Open by poking a fork around the middle of the muffin. Toast (griddle in butter) before serving.
NOTE: This recipe is optimized for 3 inch rings, which are smaller than the classic Thomas English muffin, which is 4 inches. If using larger rings, increase batter amount in each ring. For thicker muffins, add more batter to each ring, but the cooking time will increase for a thicker muffin, which may necessitate a slightly lowered baking temp to accommodate the extra time on the griddle.

Starr Starter awakened from his deep sleep in the cold holding chamber and rose to a standing ovation! Newly fed and ready again for slumber, he bid adieu. His new buddy Buttermilk accepted his award and joined him in the non-expiration section of the chamber, both dreaming of future Starr performances.

I love you, man. I always use a scale. I promise I will get back to it, but I spent over a year (about 1.5 yrs) trying to get a starter that would "perform". I had Angus, Fergus, Ezekiel and finally Zachariah. They all seemed healthy and vigorous, but when it came to levening a loaf---miserable worthless failures. I loved them, but had to give up on them! I still love your channel and have tried your pie crust (worked well). Above all, your attitude is so uplifting and positive and I love the history lessons.

Yes. The cornmeal is simply added to prevent the dough from sticking to the steel surface of the commercial griddle. If you like that texture, you are welcome to add it, but it is not traditional in the sense of the origins of the recipe.

Sub oil for the butter and water for the buttermilk. Cook on one side until bubbles around the top edge of the crumpet are popping and staying open. As other bubbles rise in the center of the crumpet, pop them with a toothpick or knife, and once they're staying open without closing, remove the ring and flip the crumpet onto a hot portion of the griddle to finish for a couple of minutes.

Love your videos and methods! If i didnt have type II diabetes i would eat it every day. Couple questions: Wanting to make only a couple per day 1) what would happen if after leaving the batter for 24 hrs, it was put in the fridge and used over the next 3-4 (or more) days 2) could enough buttermilk, flour, etc. be added to the 2 oz starter to just generate enough volume (~1/2 cup);to make 2 muffins? And if so, could they be made before much of a fermentation period, considering the higher % starter already present? I may play around a bit to try and will let you know if something turns out ok. On a totally different note, any thoughts on trying to make any sort of lower carb sourdough with alternative flours? I figure that's just wishful thinking, but interested in any thoughts you may have. Thanks for any input you may care to offer.
@ultimatefoodgeek
@ultimatefoodgeek 4 ай бұрын
I don't recommend cooking just before eating. These muffins are better staling a day or two before eating, and toasting before eating. Make them ALL. Freeze the ones you don't intend on eating within 2-3 days. This is FAR less effort than heating up your griddle and doing the 8 minute cook every single day. You can halve the recipe for 4 muffins. However, see the above comment. It's far less effort to make a full batch and freeze what you're not going to eat in the coming days. There's no such thing as edible low-carb bread. The ONLY edible bread is made with wheat flour as the primary ingredient. (100% rye flours can make an edible bread, but only with very high-hydration techniques, which are complicated.) Nut flours and gluten free flours do not produce an edible result. (Try ANY gluten-free or Keto/low carb bread from the supermarket to understand this.) Some people have learned to tolerate these...but not people who enjoy bread.

I’m super excited to try to make these English muffins this weekend. In shopping for the required buttermilk I could only find light buttermilk. Is this acceptable? I realize it’s mainly used for the acid so does the lower fat make a difference? Can’t wait for those nooks and crannies! You’re the best.

Light buttermilk is the most common kind, and it works just fine.

Thank you so much for making this blond friendly. Lol. I was struggling with the time commitment making sourdough but i so desperately need to change to less inflammatory and processed foods. You make it easy. Quick question. Do you have a pizza crust recipe? I love sourdough pizza!

Wish you could also do some sourdough recipes with fresh milled flours also.

Fresh milled flours are not good for baking bread. Even artisan, heirloom whole grain flours sold commercially are aged after milling. You simply can't bake a GOOD loaf of bread with freshly milled flours, they're always going to be dense and gummy. I don't have the heart to make a video on this, because so many of you are gung-ho on this home milling trend at the moment. Sure...it's healthy. But it doesn't bake a good loaf of bread.

Hi Ben. I loved your starter video which Left me with an amazing vibrant starter. I have two questions. My English muffins turned put mediocre. My family lived them but when I made the from a traditional yeast muffin they liked them better. My sourdough version definitely had less of a rise. When I make a traditional fermented soughdough bread completing several folds, on the final rise in the fridge my dough is not as firm as the videos and seems to somewhat collapse a bit when transferring the dough from the banneton to the pot (cold or hot pot). What am I doing wrong?

Christine, it sounds like your starter got overhydrated at some point, so you're ending up with too much water in your recipes. Give your starter a stiff feeding, as described in my Troubleshooting Simple Sourdough video at the 6:00 mark.
