homemade english muffins

i adapted a better homes and gardens recipe for this 




 Homemade English Muffins
Yields 12 muffins
Prep time: 1 hour 15 minutes (includes dough rising time)
Cook time: 12 minutes
orginal recipe INGREDIENTS
Homemade English Muffins 1/2 cup non-fat powdered milk (there are dairy free powdered milk options)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup hot water
1 envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/3 cup warm water
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted (sub gluten free flour mix which is 2 cips brown rice flour, 2/3 cup potato starch, 1/3 cup tapioca starch.. i always have a air tight container of this ready to go) then add a tsp xanthan gum
Corn meal, for sprinkling
Non-stick spray
Canning lids or 3” metal rings*

*Tip: For an extra special touch, try cookie cutters!

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the powdered milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, shortening and hot water in a bowl and stir.
In another bowl, combine the yeast, a pinch of sugar and warm water until the yeast is dissolved, then add the mixture to the dry milk ingredients.
Thoroughly stir in the flour until everything is combined. Cover with plastic wrap and set it in a warm spot for an hour.
Preheat an electric griddle to 300°F.*
Place the metal rings in the skillet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Stir the last 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the dough. Spoon the batter into each ring with a 1/4 cup measuring scoop and sprinkle a little corn meal on each of the tops.
Cover the skillet or griddle with a lid or cookie sheet and cook for 6-7 minutes.
Carefully remove the lid or sheet and flip the muffins over with tongs. Replace the lid or sheet, then cook for another 6-7 minutes or until browned.
Remove rings and cool on a cooling rack.
Split the muffins with a fork, around the edges, to keep the crannies intact, then lightly toast them.
*Tip: Don’t have an electric griddle? Try cooking in batches on a preheated cast iron skillet or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Banana pancakes

The easiest pancakes in the world.....Are you ready?

1 banana mashed up
1 egg

mix the mashed banana and the egg together. Get your pan hot on the stove spread some butter in the pan and fry the pancake on both sides.

We serve Halaynas with honey to avoid the sugar of the syrup. This time we served it with pumpkin bread and orange juice. I will be posting the pumpkin bread recipe soon.

rgluten free muffins

This was our breakfast the other morning.

I make my muffins a smaller size so that they are perfect for my kids. I made blueberry and chocolate chip muffins out of the same recipe.








So here is what you need:
a bag of chocolate chips
frozen or fresh blueberries
2 cups of gluten free flour (for non gluten free use 2 cups all purpose flour)
1 tsp of zanthan gum
  1/2 cups of sugar (I had to use diabetic sugar)
  3 tsp of baking powder
  1/2 tsp of salt
  3/4 cup of milk (use lactose if your intolerant)
  1/3 cup of oil
  1 egg beaten

So i always mix all my dry ingredients together and put them off to the side. Then in my mixer I start with the egg, get it beaten up and add the rest of the wet ingredients. After the wet ingredients are mixed well I add the dry to the wet and mix it well. When that is all mixed well I add my chips or blueberries. Now scoop your batter into your sprayed muffin pans.. So here is what you do next:

  3 tbs of sugar
  2 tbs of brown sugar
mix them together and sprinkle on top of your muffins
place your muffins in a 400 degree oven for about 15 mins, but keep an eye on them time depends on your oven.
  Let them cool in the muffin pan a few mins before putting them on a wire rack. Then eat them up, they are so yummy. They also freeze very well for another day or for large batches.
