Among small breads English muffins are one of my personal favorites. But I have never tried making my own – because I don’t have the rings. (Well, I might have tried using tuna fish cans – improvising as inspired by Mrs. Child. But it must have been very long ago if I did.) It’s amazing how tempting, and beautifully shaped, these DIY English muffins turned out in the pictures! The baking part does seem tricky. I need to go over the steps again to figure out I could adapt these in my kitchen. So thanks, PJ and company, for this and all the great posts! Some posts are quite foreign to me, like gluten-free baking. But these days I have met more people who said they want to try taking in less gluten in their diet, though they don’t necessary have medical reason to do so. I am glad that I could refer them to find GF recipes at the KAF site. For me I love those posts highlighting a local favorite – for example, recently, Pamela’s pancakes. Keeping cloning those legendary goodies! It’s the next best thing short of being there. Thanks so much. Anne, thanks so much for your kind words; we really enjoy sharing all our "finds" with readers like yourself. As for the English muffins, frankly, I couldn't believe they came out looking so good, either! I'd never made them without rings before, but this recipe is really easy; it does take a bit of tinkering to find the best combination of low heat, timing, and perhaps a short finish in the oven, but it's an interesting process and the end result is yummy. Hope you give them a try sometime - PJH
