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.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
