• Make sure to grease the griddle or skillet well to prevent the muffins from sticking.
• You can add additional flavorings to the dough, such as cinnamon or raisins, if desired.

Storage and Serving

• Store the English muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• To serve, split the muffins with a fork and toast them before spreading with butter or your favorite toppings.
• These muffins also make a great base for breakfast sandwiches.
