The inaugural...

....batch of sourdough English muffins is in progress....pics soon....
Recipe (thought I posted this before but can't find it)
-
I didn’t expect that they would be cooked in a skillet.
I’ll have to try them!
-
Dough cut into rounds and resting:
First batch. We were concerned that they looked like they burned, but fortunately there was no charred taste.
Fork split:
Bit of butter. Num!
The lot of them. Well, after we ate a few of them:
All in all, they are quite good! I toasted one for lunch and made a Mc-wtg muffin. Beat up one egg, poured it into a crumpet ring that I had placed in a small skillet and cooked it into a round scrambled egg thingy. Warmed up a couple of slices of Costco pre-cooked bacon, slapped a piece of cheddar on the egg. Assembled and...delish! Wolfed it down and missed the opportunity to take a pic.
The high hydration dough is a little hard to work with but not impossible. I used my Lodge cast iron combo skillet (it's a skillet with a griddle-like lid) to cook them. It's the only cast iron I have. I bought it originally to bake sourdough bread, but we decided we like long loaves instead of round and I switched to a clay baker. The Lodge sat in a cabinet for quite a while, so glad it's found a new use.
Next up: Crumpets.

@steve-miller - she also has a recipe for a sourdough muffin loaf if you don't want the work to roll out, cut, and cook the individual muffins.
