Sesame Free English Muffins (Stovetop)

Homemade English muffins have a way of making an ordinary morning feel genuinely special, and the stovetop method means you don't even need to turn on your oven. The dough comes together with pantry staples — flour, milk, yeast, butter — so you know exactly what's going in, which is a real relief when store-bought breads so often carry sesame warnings from shared production lines. A dusting of fine cornmeal gives each muffin that signature slightly gritty crust and helps them release cleanly from the dry skillet. The low-and-slow cook on the stovetop is the secret to getting that deep golden exterior while the inside stays soft and fully cooked through. Best of all, splitting them with a fork rather than a knife tears open all those legendary nooks and crannies, so butter and jam have somewhere to pool. These are the kind of muffins that make you wonder why you ever bought the packaged kind in the first place.
