Description

Perfectly textured gluten-free English muffins with authentic nooks and crannies, ideal for toasting and enjoying with your favorite toppings or as sandwich bases.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not in flour blend)
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

  1. 1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
  3. 3. Add activated yeast mixture, warm milk, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix vigorously for 2 minutes.
  4. 4. Cover bowl with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. 5. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Grease English muffin rings and place on griddle. Sprinkle cornmeal inside each ring.
  6. 6. Spoon batter into rings, filling halfway. Cook for 7-8 minutes until bottoms are golden brown.
  7. 7. Flip muffins with rings and cook another 7-8 minutes until cooked through and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  8. 8. Remove from rings and cool on a wire rack. Split with a fork and toast before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Toast directly from frozen for best results. For savory versions, add herbs and cheese; for sweet versions, add cinnamon and raisins.
