I honestly cannot remember the last time that I have eaten an English muffin. When I was young I developed an aversion to English muffins. I do not remember what exactly it was about English muffins that turned me off but I just remember not liking the taste or texture. However my dad wanted to make some sort of homestyle Egg McMuffin so I decided to give homemade English muffins a whirl.

I’ll admit it – I’m a bit of a sucker for yeasty dough recipes. The warm, bread smell from the yeast, the punching down of the dough, the vigorous kneading until that specific feel is reached… nothing is comparable.

They came out pretty tasty! Better than I remembered, in fact. I think that they were bread-ier than they should be but considering the fact that I don’t even know what a proper English muffin should taste like anymore, I’m not exactly sure that my opinion is valid. They were moist, soft and fluffy and would hold up nicely as buns for a homestyle Egg McMuffin once toasted.
