I have already confessed my sincere love for my bubbly 6+ year old sourdough starter that I talked about in this video: • All About Homemade Sou...
I use it in my kitchen often. Pancakes, english muffins, waffles...I have even attempted Sourdough Doughnuts: farmhouseonboo...
I love the way sourdough adds a depth of flavor to baked goods that just isn't there in store bought bread products.
Plus, I have a satisfaction cooking with a starter that I made and maintained with my own two hands. I hope to pass it down as a family heirloom.
To me, it is valuable to learn how to make something in your own home that you just can't buy in the store. Artisan style.
I get really excited by things like this.
Grains have gotten an undeserved bad rep in the health food community.
Have you ever heard of phytic acid? Basically, its an antinutrient found in grains, beans and nuts that interferes with the absorption of certain nutrients. They are present on grains to keep them from spoiling.
There is a reason they are there, but there is also good evidence that our bodies weren’t meant to handle them. Proper preparation of grains eliminates most, if not all, of the phytic acid in offending foods.
But, did you know traditional cultures thrived on grains? The key difference between the way they consumed grains, and the way we do in our modern society can be summed up in two words: proper preparation.
It was necessary for folks to ferment grains for them to rise into delicious bread. Before yeast was isolated and sold in little packets, sourdough starter was a valuable commodity in homes and families, passed down for generations.
These days we’ve lost that art. And, what have we found? People can’t handle grains anymore.

But for now let's talk about the topic at hand: How to Make Sourdough English Muffins
I love Sourdough English Muffins because they taste like bread and work like bread, but take about 1/10th of the work making sourdough bread takes.
And for this busy momma, that's a recipe for a great...well..recipe.
I can whip them in no time. And my family can enjoy a healthy bread that is so much cheaper than sprouted whole grain bread from the store.
Sourdough English muffins work great for sandwiches with meat and cheese, or smothered in butter and honey for breakfast.
How to Make Sourdough English Muffins
The night before you want sourdough English muffins stir in a glass bowl:
2 cups flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup fed sourdough starter
Cover it with a towel and let it sit at room temperature for 12- 24 hours. You can get away with a longer in the cooler months and the fermentation process can take less time in the summer if your house is hot.
After it has fermented, add to the mixture:
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat your cast iron skillet on low and add a little coconut oil.
Mix the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated. You will probably have to use your hands for this. The dough will be pretty thick.
Divide the dough in 12 equal parts and drop it in your cast iron skillet.
Keep it on low for about 10 minutes so the dough has a chance to rise.
After you are happy with the amount of rising, turn the skillet up to about 3 or 4 (not quite medium) and continue to cook until they are browned slightly on the bottom.
on’t try to flip them until they come up easily from the pan. The goal is to only flip them one time.
Cook them on the other side until browned.
These English muffins have a tendency to cook on the outside before the inside is full done. So, be sure to not turn the skillet up to high. If they are browned on the outside, but still not done on the inside, throw them in a 250 to 300 degree oven for 10 minutes or so.
After they are cooked all the way through, slice them open and Enjoy!
I made mine this morning. I cut the recipe in half to make 6 . They were delicious!! I was so happy the came out out right the first time! 😁🍞
I just came across this video when looking up English muffin recipes and I think this is the first video I ever saw of Lisa’s all those years ago! I remember thinking… “how the heck does she do all that with a baby?” And I still ask the same question several babies later 🤣😍
Best sourdough English muffins!!! I can’t say enough they are delicious!! So one twist is that I brown the top and bottom them put them in the air fryer to make sure the inside is fully cooked. I also use the ice cream scooper to shape them. Thank you so much for your recipe!!!
I love how real you are!! Kids screaming in the background, baby sleeping, food was left past the time you wanted and the muffins aren’t perfect shaped. Sounds like my house! Reality is everyone eats and is happy. Thank you!

Hbuo
Yeah
Yes, I like it when recordings are more natural and not staged-like everything is perfect. No one lives like that. Some anomalies are welcome.
This recipe is FANTASTIC! Everything I’m looking for in a recipe... simple, nutritious, easy to commit to memory, fun for the kids to help, and incredibly delicious. Children and husband approved! Definitely a keeper. Thank you so much for sharing!
Your precious little angle is so adorable. God bless your family.
I made them this week and they are so amazing and easy!!!! I made my first starter and did this first! Love it
I just made these with my gluten free starter and they were delicious!!! Thank you.
I made this recipe with the second week of my discard... I totally goofed it. They came out like pancakes, I don't like wasting food, so I tried them. OM goodness!😮 I couldn't stop eating them!😋 So good with butter and honey. I made other recipes, but this one was the best for me. Thank you!
Just made this and they were sooo good! Thank you! I could taste a slight hint of baking soda but that will just take practice of really watching how i sprinkle it on. Just made more for tomorrow. Next are the pancakes! 🥞
This is my FAVORITE most universally used bread!!
yay!
Just made these and they’re awesome! My kids are begging for more!! ❤️
I have tried to make these 3 different times and every time, previously my batter was runny. I almost gave up but thought id give it one more go round. I finally made them this morning and they looked just like yours and im so excited!!! They were delicious.
Yeah my first time making them and my dough was runny… not sure why. What you think worked this time for you ?
I used 1/2c less flour and that seemed to help. Not sure if my starter was just more hydrated than hers or if the other times i just had bad luck lol. Either way the half cup less flour worked for me.
@@lisag4527 thank you! We still ate them like pita pockets 😄
I made these today. Only my second EVER sourdough creation. Haha! Everyone loved them!! Thanks so much for sharing. You inspire me to do more!
I just made your Sourdough English muffins and they are fabulous! I will admit I tried another recipe and they turned out like bagels.... Not what I was going far. LOL. Thank you for sharing your recipe. ❤️ I love your Chanel and watching you create wonderful meals along with seeing your garden and your Beautiful home.
Oh man Lisa!! Now I'm craving an English muffin with butter and honey! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe with us! Happy New Year to you and your family! :-) Nicole
Thank you so much Nicole! Happy New Year to you! :)
I did it! I finally nail the receipe. My kids love them. I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you for all your videos 💝
Great job!
I need to revisit your Sourdough Starter video! These muffins look like they would be fun to make! Thx for sharing! You look fantastic!
Thank you so much Leslie!
These are literally so good.
Looks so delicious! Thank you lisa, I will be trying these this weekend.
Thank you so much Gail! Enjoy!
New to sourdoughing going to make these today thank you!
Made these this morning- OMG YUMMMM!! Thank you!
Just made them! Thank you, turned out great ❤
Yay! Love to hear that.
I'm eating one right now, yum! This was so easy and they are so good. Thank you!
Hi sweetheart. Your videos have been very exciting & relaxing to watch. My starter is ready and we hope to have these English muffins tomorrow morning... fingers crossed :) Have a fabulous weekend!
Enjoy!!
These look amazingggg. Loving all your cooking videos! (And babywearing! 😍)
Thank you so much Lindsey!!
Thank you for this recipe and video... I was looking for a video on how to make SOURDOUGH English muffin
I love your channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
My dough rised great, and was super bubbly just like yours, once I went to mix it was sooooo liquidy. Almost like a little thicken than cake batter texture but sticky. definitely not doughy at all. Thoughts?
This happens to me every time. The dough starts out thick but after fermenting overnight it is the same consistency as yours. I have been just adding more flour before cooking (up to 1/2 cup so far) until I feel it’s more like a dough. I feel like this is a fail but they still taste great! ps - I add maple syrup instead of honey - that thins it even a bit more.
Looks yum 😋 thanks for sharing 😍
I'm trying to make these now, but the batter is so runny after 12 hours, huge bubbles abd not possible to shape, thinner than pancake batter, so I added some some flour and used a measuring cup to put in pan.
They spread out like pancake batter, they really did rise. What went wrong? Are they still edible. When I added the flour it just rose way up in the bowl, huge bubbles. What can I do next time to make then look ,ike yours, not runny and impossible to handle. I used spelt flour. They are cooked and very hard not soft or moist. Help!,
I had to throw them out turned too hard to eat after cooling down.
You don't address this in your video and I read someone else had a similar problem you did not reply to. I really want to make these so they work out. I love all your videos, I'm checking to see if we have any Omish or Memmonites communities in my Province you have convinced me to go buy their items.
Made these this morning with fresh ground einkorn wheat, mine turned out more like pancake batter, so I scooped it out with a spoon and fried them in the pan. I then baked them at 200 degrees for ten minutes as they were a bit doughy in the center and it worked out. Could you perhaps add a weight measurment for the flour so I get it right next time and maybe they will turn out thicker? I did enjoy them with my scrambled eggs this morning though, thank you for the recipe!
It totally depends on the thickness of the starter. Just add a little more next time, so that's almost a dough when you sit it out overnight. :)
Tried this recipe and I can say the flavor was great but texture and form, not so great. We like ours thick and craney lol. Traditional recipes are a lot of work, but totally worth it.
Great recipe. Your gray bricks are gorgeous. what are they?
I guess you are talking about the tile? They are actually white subway tiles you can buy at most hardware stores that sell tile
@@FarmhouseonBoone Ok, thank you.
Tell me what I am doing wrong! Mine always turns into a sticky mess.... Maybe over fermented? Seems like it would be ready in 4 hours but that can't be right, can it??
Do you feed your starter before you make the muffin mix?
Are these freezable? For like breakfast sandwiches or the pizzas you make pull them out and have ready dough for quick easy meals?!
Yes, I would slice in half first.
@@FarmhouseonBoone yay. Thank you. I have been loving everything sourdough. Thanks to u have been able to stay mine and keep it alive. 🌻😊💜
Can I make these with my gf sorghum starter and use buckwheat flour instead?
You can try!
I tried making this recipe with einkorn. Very bubbly but was very liquidy. Any ideas?
Mine doubled in 6hrs!! I had to put in the fridge or it would overproof.
Is the baking powder needed here? I thought the sourdough starter would be enough?
Can I make them in the oven instead of stove top?
How do you check for doneness?
do a test one...the trick is low and slow...if you are unsure you can put them on a sheet pan as they are made and put them in a warm oven
Should we cover them while we cook them?
Wow 😮 im gonna make this. Im paleo 🤫🤫🤭🤭
the next day, my dough was not stiff. It was very jiggly and soft. anyone know why?
I'm sensitive to gluten, do you think I can get away with these since it's fermented?
I tried these and I am sensitive to gluten. They were delicious but I still had a reaction. I know some people are ok, but it’s a no go for me. So...I made my own gluten free sourdough starter and am going to try this recipe with rice flour instead of wheat flour. Fingers crossed!
Can't you use a lid to help with getting them done on the inside?
Yes that would work also!
👍🏻
Followed this exactly, & my dough is like wet and insanely sticky. There is no way I can even try to shape them... what should I do? Add more flour or something?
Just saw you heart this! Before you reply, I added like 1/2 handful of flour then just went ahead and made them!
They turned out great. Next time I’ll go slower & see what I did. Taste is spot on, texture could have been better! Oops haha!
Do these freeze well?
Yes, they do! :)
This is my 3rd time trying and it just doesn’t work for me. After the 24 hours my dough has lots of bubbles, but is way too watery and Runny to actually work with.
I am linking the written recipe for you...I assume when you are referencing the 24 hrs you are talking about the starter. The English muffin mix doesn't sit for 24 hrs..www.farmhouseonboone.com/how-to-make-sourdough-english-muffins
This is the English Muffin Police (EMP). We're going to let you go with just a citition this time--for slicing through it with a knife rather than using a fork to gently pry it open.
😂
I love this woman and her family. She inspires me ❤️ truly proverbs 31 ❤️
Oh Lisa, these are so amazing!!! For under $5, I made these, pancakes, 2 sourdough breads, tortillas, and pizza crusts. You are a gem! Thank you! Everything tastes wonderful. I made these without the baking powder as you show, wow, my dough trippled and the nooks and crannys are excellent. They taste amazing. I live alone and have a feezer of great foods to pull out.
I ADORE this recipe, but the only thing that was bothering me about it was how imperfect and blobby these turned out. But problem fixed- I bought some of those silicone round egg molds and now I just scoop my batter into those on the frying pan and they turn out the perfect English muffin shape!
Lauren Goodwin thank you for the tip!
Lauren Goodwin bonus, if you make your eggs in them afterwards, you have a perfect egg muffin!
More like crumpets.
Should we cover them while we cook them?
Thank you mine were runny even more than pancake batter.
I will look for some of these before making them again thank you so much.
I just have to say I love your channel! I love your heart! As an older woman I lived like you when I was younger. I respect all young women who live this way. A true Proverbs 31 woman!
Thank you so much!
The hygiene police! That's hilarious!!! I use my hands, best tools God gave us!
Agreed!!
Absolute! Laughed at hygiene police 😄
@@jomc20 she’s not cooking for you so....
I absolutely agree with using your hands...this is how you can tell if texture is correct 😀
Also use my fingers to pick out kefir culture grains from my kefir when it's ready.
I recently had my baby girl and I have started a recipe box for her to give her on her 18the birthday and this definitely will be added to her box
@Harmony Homestead jwu y yo you wanna do ujuewuuu key out
My mother wrote to my family members and friends and had them all write out their favorite recipes for me for my 14th birthday (I've always loved cooking and baking). What a gift that was! My favorite birthday gift ever. Now I have a treasure of hand written favorites from family and friends (some of which are no longer here) and hope to gift them to my daughter as well.
@@alexismcwane9245 totally
It’s been 5 yrs I would love to know how it’s going with your daughter. I have 2 girls, young adults. One doesn’t cook and one loves to and makes everything mostly from scratch!
I make a huge mess when I make bread and I don't have a baby attached to me, you are good.
it works well to do them in a canning lid for form.then they rise instead of spread
U look and remind me if laura engles wilder. 👩🌾
These came out AMAZING!! My family had me make it two days in a row and it was their first time trying sourdough! Thank you somuch for sharing this delicious and HEALTHY recipe! It's definitely a keeper in our home!
these are a FAVORITE in my house. made them countless times and they're always a hit. I have a hubby, a 4yo, almost 3yo and 1 yo and these are a HIT with everyone ! Thank you Lisa!
So glad!
I am going back and watching some of your older videos. I love them!! Your style has changed over the years, but these older ones are a treasure.
I agree. The old ones are so good…they’re all good.
I made these this morning and they are delicious. Thank you! I have enjoyed all your recipes. I now always have cabbage fermenting on the counter and I make your crisp potatoes all the time. These English muffins will be another recipe I make several times a week.
Oh yay Megan! I love that this has been helpful for you. Enjoy! And enjoy your 'kraut as well. 😊
I wonder why would 70 useless people would thumb down any of ver videos! Those people should get a life....
Not related to your wonderful recipe, but what kind of baby wrap is that? He looks so comfy!
Thank you Kayla! It is from sollybaby.com :)
Farmhouse on Boone thanks! I will definitely be looking into that website.
@@FarmhouseonBoone
Lucky husband you have with a hard-working wife and mother like you ! 😍
Must be difficult to chop and mix with your baby straddled in front of your body ! Awesome !!
I just finished making my first sourdough starter following your recipe and I was wondering if you could bake these entirely in the oven at a low temperature rather than on the stovetop?
Love how this recipe is dairy free! Can I use unfed starter (discard) instead? And if so what should I adjust? Thank you!!
Love these! My family has been devouring them!! So great to have on hand for sandwiches throughout the day. And so much tastier than store-bought. No need to buy those again! Getting in the habit of setting a batch to ferment every night.
I am loving these! I was thinking...I have occasionally bought cinnamon/raisin English muffins at the store. Have you ever added anything like raisins, etc. to the sourdough ones? I was thinking about giving that a try.
It seems like it would totally work! I would just soak the raisins overnight while the sourdough is fermenting and then add them all in at the end right before cooking. I may have to try it and report back to you 😁
Killing it with the skillet! Love how you use your sourdough and keep the recipes and cooking methods simple simple simple!
Thanks for putting together this video! Stoked to use my sourdough and cast iron skillet even more
I made these using Bobs red mill gluten free flour mix and a brown rice sour dough starter. Turned out great! Thanks for the video!
I'm so happy to see like a real mom. Kids time delays all of the things that ACTUALLY happen in life. Makes me feel good to see you can do this with kids because then I can too.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know I tried your recipe for English muffins. They worked really well & my family loved them. They will be a regular item at our house now x
Fleur MP Yay! I am so glad to hear that! :)
Just made sourdough this morning for my students. All I can say is thank you. Your recipe is true. This English muffin is so delicious I’m just blown away. This will be my go to for easy bread for my family and students.
I have a question i should have asked during the sourdough starter video. When you feed the starter by cutting it in half and then feeding it do you feed both halves. Do you cut it in half each time you and I would think feed both halves. if so you could end up with 6 starters before your ready to bake with them. Am I understanding this correctly?
Hi, so if you feed your starter and let it double, then you use whatever portion you need and the rest you can cover and put in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. When you need to use fed starter then you take for example 100 grams of starter, Leave at room temperature maybe 30 minutes then add 100 grams of flour and 100 grams of water. At this point you will have about 300 grams total. Then you wait until it doubles in size. This can take up to 3 hours depending on your kitchen temperature. My kitchen is about 66 degrees in the fall and winter so I put my starter in the oven (make sure is OFF) and just wait.
You can use a rubber band around the jar to mark where the starter is when you begin and to see when it doubles. I hope this helps you.
You might have more starter than what you need at the end, at this point you can put some away in the refrigerator for later or use it for another recipe like sourdough crackers, or sourdough banana bread, etc..
I don't have sourdough starter, Everytime i need to make something with flour i just throw all the flour i may need, soak it with homemade yogurt or water and Apple cider vinegar depending what I'm making. Then the next day i just add the rest of the ingredients, and that's done. That's how my grandma tought me to make sourdough 😁
I was like, "that sound simple", then I read "homemade yogurt".
How do you make homemade yogurt???? Beening looking for a recipe forever
@@clarehinchliffe4181 I don't consume as much, so i just simmer a cup of milk and then let it cool to a point where i can stivk my finger in and it doesn't burn, it's still warm, then i add a couple tbsps of yogurt(any plain, i always use from my last batch) mix, put a lid, and place it inside my oven with the light on overnight, about 8 hours,( the temperature gets to about 75-80f in the oven) then in the morning i place it in the fridge, ready. If i want thick yogurt like the greek style, i pour it on a strainer line with a coffee filter over a bowl and the next day it's thick, i get about 3/4 cup by then. I only have to make it every week, that's how little i use it😁
That sounds like a recipe I read in “ nourishing traditions” and definitely a nutritious meal😋
@@MsPsalm139 I'm sure, all the yogurt recipes are pretty much the same thing
I just tried your English muffins today. Although they were totally delicious and they were fine as is, my dough was a bit more runny than yours before I put them in the skillet. After it had fermented before I put in the salt baking soda and honey it was thin enough that I could move it around with a spoon definitely not as thin as pancake batter but not as thick as yours. I could not touch it with my hands it was way too sticky. Therefore they were really difficult to cook all the way through. I'm just wondering if that happens or if maybe I didn't put enough flour in at the beginning or something. Have you ever had this problem when you first started? I'm sure there's a large learning curve would just love your secrets though! I didn't put thank you so much❤
I had experienced the SAME thing! I wonder if we let it sit too long?
This is probably my favorite recipe of yours! My husband gets super excited whenever he sees the second bowl with the english muffin mixture and always asks when I am making more lol
These were amazing! Thank you for the instructions! This recipe will keep me actually using cast iron which haven’t been good about using until a friend shared your website and videos with me. Thank you from my whole family!
Alway my go 2 go receipe staples, once sourdough starter is ready to be used, greetings from 2020 and bless you and your love ones from my family to you.
I LOVE this! So simple and absolutely divinely delicious. I have been making this every day (I have seven kiddos...19-2) and sending them to work with my hubby too. I never would have tried making them if I hadn’t seen you do it. I make sourdough bread all the time but these are ah-mazing. I love your channel so much. Especially the healthy food stuff. Thank you!
~Janelle
Thank you so much Janelle. 😊So glad you are enjoying the English muffins!
What's the purpose of the baking Soda in this recipe? I generally don't use that in my cooking, since it's classified as an irritant.
"The TH-cam heigeine police" 😂😂 love it. Unreal that we're in a world now where touching your own food is frowned upon.
OMG...I have made these a few times now. LOVE THEM! I just made your recipe but used a gluten free kefir starter! They turned out great! I think more dense but still really good! The kefir starter is just one cup kefir and 1 cup gluten free flour. Thank you so much for sharing.
I did mine in a metal biscuit cutter ring. It made them a little thicker and more like English Muffins. Would want more than one ring took a few with just one but love how it turned out.
That's a great idea! Thanks Theresa!
they are meant to be forked open
This recipe is delicious but only if you don't let it ferment for 20-24 hours because then it's way too sour, like vinegar😅12 hours of fermentation is the max, then they are delicious!👍
These turned out amazing!
As a substitute for honey because I'm out for some reason 🤪 blue agave.
Thank you for this amazingNESS!
Glad you like them!
So I have a MockMill, I have been transitioning my family to zero all purpose flour, completely fresh ground flour and I have been trying this recipe but I am getting dense hockey pucks… lol Any suggestions?
We love you Lisa. Such a true woman, homemaker and mom.
You are resourceful and good.
Thank you.
Can you make these and ahead and freeze? Or make ahead for a week’s worth of sandwiches?
Yes you can! I used to do that.
thank you so much for your willingness to share your knowledge with others. I am visually impaired and your videos have been extremely helpful and inspiring for me :-) I have made several of your recipes and I love them! my husband is also enjoying them as well :-) he is a chemo patient and doesn’t enjoy a whole lot of food these days but he loves sourdough :-)
I started the sourdough starter yesterday. Got more than 6 days to wait! ;(
I love your bread and bagel recipe so came looking for English muffins, since I love them.
I'm surprised you don't have a bread machine that mixes your bread and bakes it in one pan. But I tried cooking biscuits in the oven the other day in my cast iron skillet and I really liked the crunchiness that I got. Yum!
I literally thought English muffins were a grocery-store-only thing. Imagine my joy! These make Thomas’s taste like garbage. Thanks for sharing the secret!! Wow
I agree! We just love these.
As a busy mom of 3, I got very frustrated with my first venture into sourdough. Your recipes make it look so easy. I’m now a mom of 5 but I don’t have a baby anymore. Maybe I’m ready for a second try at keeping a starter alive...
"Hygiene police" 😄
