I wrote yesterday that I was going to try making homemade English muffins using Stella Parks' recipe in her amazing book Bravetart. I mixed up the dough this afternoon around 2:30 pm.

Then, in the morning, they will be ready to "griddle" in my cast iron skillet. I'm looking forward to trying these tomorrow morning!
