Macadamia Free English Muffins (Stovetop)

There is something deeply satisfying about making English muffins from scratch, especially when you realize the stovetop does all the heavy lifting — no oven required. The dough comes together with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, whole milk, and a touch of butter, then gets a slow rise before hitting a dry skillet over low heat. That patient, low-and-slow cook is what creates the signature golden crust and the soft, airy interior underneath. The cornmeal dusting adds a subtle crunch to the outside that you just don't get from a plastic-wrapped grocery store pack. Splitting them with a fork rather than a knife is the move — it tears along the natural air pockets and gives you all those legendary nooks and crannies that soak up butter or jam like a dream. The ingredient list is refreshingly simple and free from any nut-based oils or additives that can sneak into commercial baked goods, so you know exactly what's going into every batch. Once you've had one warm off the griddle, the store-bought version is going to feel like a serious downgrade.
