WOW! These were amazing. I asked my housekeeper to make this recipe because I was craving English muffins and they aren't available locally. These were better than the ones I have bought in the grocery stores before. They are so fresh and tasty I have a hard time not eating them all at once. The timing of the recipe is off, as the noted 5-6 minutes on each side is not sufficient. But otherwise, the recipe worked beautifully.

I don't know why this is defined as 'batter' as it has the consistency of pizza dough and didn't yield to any scooping or anything else. Tried the recipe three separate times with no luck.

.rebound: Actually it is a little closer than that.

The milk cost in this recipe at ALDI is 0.11 cents for 4 oz (I shop there as well and know the price is $6.99 for 726 grams weight and 23 grams makes 8 ounces of milk. The cost of a gallon is $3.55 and 4 ounces is 0.11 cents or .013 cents per muffin for 8. The whole box makes 1.97 gallons of milk.

The cost of whole fresh milk @ $3.90 per gallon so 4 ounces of fresh milk is 0.12 cents and the cost per muffin is 0.015 for 8. Pretty close for government work.

As the price for fresh milk continues to rise, the pricing will become more disparate in favor of the dry milk at ALDI's.

The results were great.

This is the best English Muffin recipe I have come across. Simple and repeatable. Based on some of the reviews, I do use an inverted baking pan instead of a sheet over the muffins when cooking, and that eliminates any sticking issues.

@thriftee - I'm sure you can figure out how to eliminate the powdered milk and there are some reviews that discuss that. But I did a quick calculation, and based on a gallon of milk costing about $3.90, the net difference in cost per recipe between powdered and regular milk is about 16 cents, or 2 cents per muffin. I'm not sure its worth the trouble.

I wish I could figure out how to make these without powdered milk. It costs $7 a box, even at Aldi's. I've been trying with some warm water and some warmed milk, but keep having problems with them coming out too doughy in the middle. Any suggestions?

After reading the ingredients on a popular english muffin package, I decided I wanted to control what my family ate. This recipe fits the bill. I followed the recommendation of another blogger who used this recipe but added 1 tsp of baking soda. I used a white whole wheat flour.

Don't have same size rings so just made three different sizes. Tried the "egg rings" but they were not tall enough. My Cuisinarat griddler did the job set at 300 degrees.
I don't think I'll be buying store bought english muffins again. Very yummy!

I never thought I can make English Muffins until this recipe came along. I have 8 rings that I bought from Williams Sonoma ages ago so I did not have the usual hurdle the others who tried this recipe did. I also invested in a Presto griddle that went on sale for S17.00. On my second try I doubled the recipe, made sure I sprinkled finely ground corn meal in the bottom and top, substituted the lard with unsalted butter and added a couple of tablespoons more water. One time I did not have the time to cook them immediately so the batter sat for a few hours. Lo and behold, I have sourdough English muffins! Every one loves them, I do not think we will be buying any commercially prepared English muffins ever again. Will try adding raisings or cranberries, maybe whole wheat next time. Thank you Alton!

Never made English Muffins before since I thought they would be difficult to make. Uh, nope, these were beyond easy. I didn't have metal rings so I just used large mouth canning rings and sprayed them real well with spray oil..that worked like a charm. These were delish and super easy to make. Thanks Alton!!

These are awesome! I have lots of experience with yeast and can tell you that anyone can make these. I just bought rings on Ebay for 8 bucks because we don't eat tuna, so finding cans were not an option. I made these in a teflon pan with a lid and since there were no rings, I just did a free form muffin. Very quick and inexpensive. Thinking about making some for Christmas breakfast basket gifts!
