English Muffins

Those muffins look really good......   Dave

 

Eggs Benedict - my absolute favourite. When I was working in the US they were my staple breakfast mmmm. More than a few pounds and an inch or two can be directly attributed to them !

 

I don't think I ever had a fresh english muffin. They look and I bet smell great.

 

Looks great Disco! I've been sitting on a English muffin recipe for well over a year! Guess I should give it a go! I like them for breakfast, and my boys like to make mini pizzas out of them!

 

Disco, them English Muffins look great, I can almost taste them clear down here in Washington State.

My family and I use English Muffins to make what we call camp fire Pizza, we take the muffin, slice it in half, spread our favorite pizza sauce on it, then add any and all the toppings ya like, Ham, Bacon, Canadian Bacon, Sausage, etc, and add shredded cheese of preference.

I have a cooking grill I designed for cooking over a camp fire, and I made a cover from a steam table rectangle tub, We put the pizza on the grill, Lower the tub down to form the effects of an oven and swing the cooking grill out over the camp fire. Just a few minutes and a close eye on the pizza's for doneness and olay, we have a very tastey camp fire pizza.

This picture was taken many years ago before I got the steam table tub, we used a throw away aluminum roaster pan to get the oven effect.

That cook grill pivots on a stand pipe and can be swung over the fire for cooking and away from the fire to check food doneness.

Never thought of making my own English Muffins, I will have to find a recipe and give it a try.

Morning......  Someone had to show their FAILURE so here's mine....  

I found a piece of 3" aluminum pipe in my "neat stuff to save" pile in the shop.....  Made rings.... 

Decided on a diffused heat source for the inverted 14" CI fry pan for the "griddle"....

.... click on the photos to enlarge.... 

             ... heat diffuser .....

            .....  "griddle" .....

           ... 3" pipe rings ......

       ......  on the griddle ......

       ,,, batter in the rings....

... one site said "cover" for a uniform heat ....

...  they stuck and came apart.....

A few observations....  I re read the recipe and I mixed the batter in the wrong sequence.... It wasn't even cocktail hour......

The frying pan "griddle" didn't have enough grease on it....  they stuck bad......

The cover didn't have enough grease.... same results....

I overfilled the rings so the muffins couldn't expand enough...... no holes to speak of.....

The rings are way to heavy to turn with tongs......

The flavor was good..... 

1 out of 5 ain't bad for my first attempt.....

I'd show the bag of 12  English Muffins I bought to sop up the apple butter Bride and I made but....  You've seen them before.....

There you have it.... just goes to show you, there are failures in this baking stuff... 

Dave

 

Well now.......  That's a good idea.....  I should have done that....  Those aluminum rings I made are way too heavy to turn....   Gonna have to hit the muffler shop for some exhaust tubing about  3 1/2".....  season with flax oil....  make muffins......
