English muffins from King Arthur site

English muffins baked today. I haven't made EM's before so I used 1/2 recipe from King Arthur site to make 8 muffins. I hand mixed with a Danish whisk. Very slack dough much different from my regular sourdough bread dough and baked in a caste iron skillet on the stovetop. Looking forward to bacon and egg muffin tomorrow morning. Cheers.

How do they taste? Texture? Did you use  English muffin forms circles since it was so slack? Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you! c

Thanks. The dough was very soft and pliable but sill held form. I had to handle the dough very carefully when shaping and transferring to the pan. I didn't have to use any forms to hold their shape. They easily pulled into a nice circle. The taste was very nice, sweeter than store bought. I will definitely make them again.

Appreciate the info. I will definitely make these. One last question. Did you cover the skillet while cooking?

No. Make sure the skillet is not too hot.
