I compared it to the white bread recipes in the same book, and the muffins have considerably less sugar and fat than the loaves do. As someone who never keeps buttermilk on hand, I am interested to try it that way and see how different the taste is.

The recipe I tried is in his "How to Cook Everything" book. It's listed in the index as english muffins, but it is literally a shaping variation of the sandwich bread recipe. In my opinion shape does not the english muffin make :) Apologies if I sounded curmudgeonly – it’s actually a problem I have with Mark Bittman.

A lot of work! But boy, it is worth it. Beats the mass-marketed ones hands down. Yours look especially thick and poofy, which is just how I love my English muffins.

I would imagine that buttermilk would give a stronger flavor. And maybe try an overnight rise in the fridge? I may have to experiment once I finish these off. Did you use milk or buttermilk?

It's just sandwich bread cooked on the stove. I like the big holes and slightly sour flavor of English muffins from the store. I wonder how they do that?
