I'm a creature of habit when it comes to
breakfast. My trusty standbys range from fresh fruit with Greek yogurt
and crunchy granola to Honey Nut Cheerios or hard boiled eggs. But one
of my all time favorites has to be English muffins. I even
have a toaster oven in my cubicle at work specifically for this
purpose. Is there anything better than the smell and taste of a freshly
toasted muffin smothered in butter? I think not.
Recently I received a copy of "Cook It In Cast Iron" from my friends at Cook's Country. If ever there was a versatile workhorse in your kitchen it would be a cast-iron skillet. And the fact that you can buy a fantastic one for under $35 makes it all the more appealing.
Cast iron is renowned for it's heat retention which makes it ideal for frying and searing on the stove top, but did you know it's also great for baking? Me neither! As I was browsing through the cookbook I was amazed at the number of bread and biscuit recipes there were but the one that immediately caught my eye was for English muffins. I'd never dreamed of making this breakfast staple at home but why not give it a try?
Believe me when I tell you I am now a convert to homemade English muffins, especially when they bake up so fluffy, tall and delicious. Don't be intimidated by this recipe at all because it's really straight forward and easy to follow. All I can say now is, Thomas' who???
