Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup active sourdough starter 100g
  • 1 cup milk of any kind 245g
  • 1 tbsp sugar or honey 12g
  • 3 cups all purpose flour 360g
  • 1 tsp salt 5g
  • cornmeal optional for sprinkling

Instructions

The Night Before

  • Add the starter and milk to a mixing bowl and stir until the starter is loose. Stir in the sugar or honey, flour, and salt, and mix until well combined. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 1 hour.
  • Use a stand mixer or your hands to knead the dough for 5 minutes. If using a stand mixer, I use the "hook" attachment on the lowest speed.
    Cover the bowl of dough with a towel or lid and let it ferment overnight, until about doubled.

In the Morning

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal if using.
  • Flour a large surface lightly then turn out the dough. Sprinkle the top of the dough lightly with flour as well, then press the dough out gently with your hands until it's about 1/2" to 1" thick.
  • Use a round biscuit cutter to cut rounds of dough and place them on the lined baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet with a light towel and allow to rise for 1 hour before cooking.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium low then sprinkle in a little more cornmeal if using. Add 4 muffins to the skillet (cornmeal side down) leaving a couple of inches between each. Cover with a lid and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the muffins over, then cook for 4 more minutes or until lightly browned on both sides and an internal temp reads 200ºF.
  • Transfer muffins to a cooling rack and enjoy!

Notes

These store beautifully at room temp in an airtight container for the first 4-5 days. After that, we'll move to the freezer.
Delicious split in half, toasted, and then topped with whatever you like!
Sweet: butter, honey, jam, peanut butter, fruit
Savory: pizza toppings, cottage cheese, avocado, sandwich fillings
