A little of this, a little of that

After a few weeks of constantly forgetting to make the starter before I went to bed at night, I finally made these lovely English muffin morsels - thanks to this recipe from the Urban Vegan. While these English muffins were better than anything I've ever bought in a store, they also had a texture reminiscent of pancakes and not as much of a sour taste as I would have liked. They also lacked the "nooks and crannies" I expected. That said, they were excellent in every way and didn't last more than two days in my house. Next time I will let my starter sit for at least 15 hours, if not longer, and toss in a bit of baking soda in with the baking powder.

Indeed! :o) They were a bit higher in fat than I would have liked since I refuse to use non-stick cookware. But they are definitely worth the effort.

I wanted to make these too, thanks for the review.

I actually did eat three right after I made them :( But they were damn good. And yes, make them - you won't be disappointed!

Mmm, english muffins sound really good right about now, and yours look delicious! Some day I'll get up the nerve to try making them myself, but I'm still not sure if I'm up to the challenge...

I love homemade English Muffins but have yet to try UV's recipe. Yours look so good, though!
