Cashew Free Classic English Muffins

Few things beat the smell of homemade bread on a lazy morning, and these stovetop English muffins deliver that experience with a deeply satisfying, golden crust and an interior full of the nooks and crannies you actually want. The dough comes together with pantry staples — milk, butter, flour, yeast, and a dusting of cornmeal — so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess what's hiding in a store-bought package. The slightly wet, sticky dough is what makes the magic happen, trapping air bubbles that turn into those signature pockets once the muffins hit the skillet. Cooking them low and slow on a cast iron griddle rather than baking them in an oven gives each side a beautifully deep, toasty color while keeping the inside soft and springy. The fork-split technique at the end is the real secret weapon — it tears along the natural crumb instead of compressing it, so every crevice is ready to catch butter or jam. These are genuinely impressive to pull off at home, and once you do, the packaged version will never feel worth it again.
