Here’s a recipe for Homemade English Muffins with Weight Watchers points included:
Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm skim milk (about 110°F)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp light butter, melted
- Cornmeal for dusting
Instructions:
- Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and honey. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the melted butter and the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour (until doubled in size).
- Shape the muffins: Punch down the dough and roll it out to about ½ inch thickness. Use a round cutter (about 3-4 inches wide) to cut out circles. Dust both sides of each muffin with cornmeal and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Cook the muffins: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the muffins for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Lower the heat if they brown too quickly. You may need to do this in batches.
- Cool and serve: Let the English muffins cool before splitting them open with a fork. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Serving Size:
- Makes 8 muffins.
