Eggless Classic English Muffins

Homemade English muffins are one of those kitchen projects that feel almost magical — a simple, sticky dough transforms on a cast iron skillet into golden, pillowy rounds with all those legendary nooks and crannies built right in. What makes this version especially approachable is that the ingredient list is refreshingly short: milk, butter, flour, yeast, and a little cornmeal for that signature crust. No eggs anywhere in the mix, which means anyone avoiding them can dig in without a second thought — no substitutions, no workarounds, just the real thing. The low-and-slow skillet method is the real secret here, giving each muffin time to cook through to a perfectly set interior while developing a deep, toasty crust on both flat sides. The fork-split technique at the end is non-negotiable if you want those dramatic, craggly surfaces that catch every bit of butter or jam you pile on. These are genuinely better than anything you'll find wrapped in plastic at the grocery store, and once you've made them yourself, it's hard to go back.
