English Muffins
To find those famous nooks and crannies, split English muffins with a fork
and gently pull them apart.
These round, flat breads are made from a soft yeast dough that’s baked on a griddle.
The characteristic peaks and craters (“nooks and crannies”) hold butter, jam, or other spreads.
Varieties
English muffins are available in an assortment of flavors, including sourdough, whole wheat, raisin, cinnamon, and cornmeal.
Buying and storing tips
Buy English muffins in the bread or refrigerated-food section of most natural food and
grocery stores. Choose the whole-grain variety whenever possible. Store in a plastic bag at
room temperature, and use within a week.
Availability
English muffins are available year-round.
Preparation, uses, and tips
To produce a surface with lots of nooks and crannies, split English muffins with a fork and
gently pull them apart. Serve with jam and a little
butter, or layer with avocado, sliced tomato, and sprouts.
