Brazil Nut Free Classic English Muffins

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling apart a homemade English muffin and watching all those nooks and crannies reveal themselves — the kind of texture that soaks up butter and jam in the best possible way. This recipe keeps things beautifully simple, relying on pantry staples like whole milk, flour, and active dry yeast, so you never have to second-guess what went into your dough. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, store-bought versions can be a minefield of shared-facility warnings, but making them from scratch puts you fully in control of every single ingredient. The technique here is what really sets these apart: cooking low and slow on a cast iron skillet builds that signature golden crust without drying out the soft, pillowy interior. Patting the dough by hand instead of rolling it preserves the gas bubbles that create the open, airy crumb, and splitting with a fork rather than a knife tears along those natural pockets so nothing gets wasted. The cornmeal dusting adds a subtle crunch and that classic bakery look without complicating the ingredient list at all. Once you've had one fresh off the griddle, the packaged version is going to feel like a serious downgrade.
