I always order some around Christams, but none of the selections seem to include them, not even the "pick your own" that I usually purchase. I'm devastated, but I'm so glad you posted this recipe. Now I suppose I can try my hand at making them for Christmas breakfast.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986466561368675149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-36149401377177719252013-01-23T19:52:10.117-05:002013-01-23T19:52:10.117-05:00I'm sorry to correct you but you need to do a ...I'm sorry to correct you but you need to do a little bit more research. [English] muffins were originally from England. Their origination dates back to the 1700, and they are mentioned in literature and cookbooks of that time. Also, the real [english] muffin was never split in half and buttered. It was split at the edges and butter was placed into the splits created that way. One source for my information is English Bread and Yeast Cookery by Elizabeth David. <br />Susan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786888651199432649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-74811594805020554202011-06-27T05:05:22.426-04:002011-06-27T05:05:22.426-04:00" I can if I have to " means when i reti..."

More water will not help unless you've used to much flour to begin with.
