Crispy outside with just the right amount of nooks and crannies inside – it took me a while to get this recipe for Gluten-Free English Muffins right. For all the work I put into them though, the recipe is pretty simple. You will need some English Muffin rings – the recipe makes 8 muffins, but you’ll only need 4 rings.
I do love Joy of Cooking’s suggestion for English muffin rings – cut the top and bottom off of tuna fish cans. Unfortunately, cans are no longer made so you can cut the bottoms off so I had to purchase my rings.
The total time to make these is about an hour and fifteen minutes – 15 min mix, 40 min rise, 10 min on the stove, and 10 min in the oven.
Ingredients
- ¼ C milk, scalded
- 2 ¼ t yeast (or 1 packet)
- 1 t brown sugar
- 1 C warm water
- 1 egg
- 2 T oil
- ¾ C brown rice flour
- ½ C tapioca flour
- ½ C potato starch
- ½ C sorghum flour
- 1 T ground psyllium husk
- 1 t salt
- Optional: 2 – 3 T cornmeal
Directions
Heat milk in microwave for 20 – 30 seconds. Set aside.
Mix yeast, brown sugar, and warm water. Set aside and allow to proof while you prepare remaining ingredients.
In large bowl, mix together egg and oil.
In medium bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients.
Add yeast mixture and milk to egg and oil. Stir until combined.
Add all dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Cover bowl and allow to rise for 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Heat pan on top of stove (medium to medium high heat). Grease muffin rings and pan. If you want that authentic English muffin look, sprinkle cornmeal on the pan inside of your rings.
Gently spoon dough into rings so they are a little more than half full.
Cook four at a time for 3 to 5 minutes on each side (until golden brown), flipping carefully.
Remove your Gluten-Free English Muffins from the pan and place them on parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Rings should slide off. If they stick, slide a knife around the edges to loosen.
Now, bake at 375 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes. Remove from oven and place on rack to cool. Split with a fork. Best served fresh from the oven or toasted.
Enjoy!
