Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins
This homemade cinnamon raisin English muffin recipe is soft, flavorful, and comes together with only a few basic ingredients you will have on hand—perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup warm water
- 2¼ tsp dry active yeast
- ¾ cup warm whole milk
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp brown sugar divided
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ¾ cup warm water, 2 ¼ tsp yeast & 1 tbsp of the brown sugar. Let stand for about 5 mins until foamy before adding all other ingredients — ¾ cup warm milk, 3 tbsp melted butter, 3 cups all purpose flour, ½ tsp salt, remaining 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon and 1 cup raisins. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer dough onto a floured surface and gently work with your hands to bring the dough together and form a dough ball — DO NOT KNEAD — add more flour as needed if too sticky or 1 tbsp warm water at a time if too crumbly and dry. Transfer dough to the same large mixing bowl, lightly oiled. Cover with plastic wrap & let sit in a warm area for about 1 hr, until double in size.
- Divide dough into 8-9 equal pieces. Lightly flour the sections and your hands as you fold and pinch into a secure ball. Arrange dough pieces on a lined baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap to let rise another 30 mins.
- Place a lightly greased cast iron skillet over medium heat. Dip each side of the dough ball into a bowl of corn meal before pan frying for 1-2 minutes each side, until a golden brown crust forms.
- Bake at 350 F for 10 – 15 minutes to ensure they are cooked all the way through
Amazing recipes always 🤍❤️
I made these today and they are delicious 👌thank you . Recipe was easy to follow .
Absolutely the best English muffin recipe! So delicious, soft, and tender! Had some butter and flakey finishing salt after toasting, kiss my fingers good! Can’t wait to try the others!
10/10!! This was my first time baking with yeast and these turned out better than I could have ever imagined. These were so easy and require just minimal patience. They came out so tender and flavorful!
This was my first try at English muffins and they came out great! Such an easy recipe and delicious muffin
Wow! These were so good. I love the texture and how light and fluffy they were. I had to modify the recipe for a food allergy, but was able to make them using almond milk and non-dairy butter and they were great! I highly recommend.
These were wonderful. I used cranberries instead of raisins and they were great. My whole family loves them
Your recipes and directions are awesome! Thank you for sharing!😁👍
Made these the other day and will be making them again! So easy and so very good! Thank you for sharing and will be trying some of the other flavors!
The bread was delicious and easy to do.
I have a question: the crust was soft and thin. I expected it to be chewier. What did I miss doing?
In any case I’ll be making it again, especially as my husband likes it so much.
These are huge compared to store bought, but SO delicious. I like a stronger cinnamon flavor so I added an extra bit to mine. Raisin amount is perfect. Yum!!!
