Step 2: Add the melted butter and warm milk
Melt your butter in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat. When it is fully melted, gently add it to the dry mix that you prepared earlier.
Meanwhile, warm your milk so that it is not too hot or too cold before also incorporating it into the preparation.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Now that all the ingredients are combined in the mixing bowl, it’s time to knead the English muffin dough. Use your hands or an electric kneader until the dough becomes soft and slightly sticky.
If the dough is too dry and difficult to work with, do not hesitate to add a little extra milk in small amounts.
Step 4: Shape the English muffins
When the dough has reached the right consistency, lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 centimeter.
Using a circular cookie cutter with a diameter of 8-9 cm (or simply an overturned glass), cut out circles from the dough to form your English muffins.
Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them because they will slightly spread while baking.

Step 5: Bake the English muffins
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat without adding any fat. When the pan is hot, gently place the English muffins in it and cook them for about 7 to 8 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned and puffed up.
Regularly monitor the cooking to prevent the muffins from burning and adjust the heat if necessary.
