Homemade English Muffins ~ Tea

I got a small batch of English muffins made.  I love these for making breakfast sandwiches.  I used the recipe at Edible Existence blogspot.  It requires very little ingredients (1 Tbsp. of honey) compared to the Honey Wheat recipe that King Flour has.



Once my einkorn flour arrives,
I will make them using it to give it a taste test (and baking test). The recipe makes 8 muffins.  It's been a while since I've made them.  We've really cut back on the bread, due to eating scrambles and frittatas (with greens) lately.
 
I get better results when I drink an infusion for a runny nose. I made a tea infusion using mullein.  I had planned to make it the other night, and let it sit all night.  I forgot.  I even had the mullein in the jar with a lid on it. Ha!  Well, it was made, and enjoyed, and I'll have enough for today yet.  Then I'll make a new one.  I like to rotate my herbs.

I am once again loading my car with boxes of items I can live without, don't need anymore, and clothing that is now way too big for me. The cleaning and sorting, and organizing continues (when I can).

I'll be very interested to hear how these turn out with Einkorn flour. Mama Pea and I have been struggling to get a cohesive loaf out of the pure Einkorn flour bread. I miss homemade English muffins - I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well, call me a stick-in-the-mud, but I have eaten buttered English Muffins with whipped cream cheese every morning for breakfast for years. I eat them with a spiced tea I make up of a combination of tea bags - Chai Extra Spice, Constant Comment Orange, Green Tea and 10 cloves that I let sit over night in a large bottle I leave on the counter.
I use to add strawberry preserves to the top of the cream cheese, but I gave that up years ago when I was diagnosed nearing the onset of diabetes.
Though English Muffins aren't too expensive, thanks for that recipe link. I'll look into seeing if I can make some at home, at least during the cold months when the heat of the oven helps heat the home and the aroma of baking wafting through the house is a comfort too.
Praying for everyone's health and well-being out there. Life is short, take time to smell the roses.
God bless.

Susan, the recipe uses part organic bread flour and part whole wheat, but I think I saw another recipe I can try in a cook book too. I have to flip through them again.

RB, your combination of tea sounds wonderful. I have been back into baking bread again, but have little time. The family loves these. They are soft, and not chewy or tough to eat (like some store bought toasted muffins), and it only contains 1 Tbsp. of honey.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
