Hi Lindsay! I use the active starter here so you will get a nice rise. If you use discard you will likely end up with something resembling a pancake. I hope that helps. 🙂

Hi Rosanna! You could try resting it at room temperature for up to 2 hours. The longer refrigeration time should have helped though. 🙁

These muffins are delicious. However, I was wondering if there is a way to increase the sourdough flavor? My sourdough starter is five years old so it’s well established. I left my batter in the refrigerator for 24 hours before making them. Before frying, I brought the batter up to room temperature. I’m just looking for a little more tanginess.

Hi Aubrey! What do you mean that they came out like pancakes? In taste? Did you use the rings? Were they flat? I’d like to help troubleshoot. I also have a video in the recipe card if that is helpful.

I’m pretty new to making a sourdough starter and failed the first couple of times. Then I stumbled upon your website and followed your starter recipe exactly. In 13 days, I have a very active starter and so far I have some pizza dough I made last night and will be ready to bake tomorrow, I made the sourdough brownies tonight (delicious); and I put together the batter for the English muffins and ordered the English Muffin rings that will arrive tomorrow. Now, when I feed my starter, within 4 hours, it doubles in size. I especially like watching your instruction videos before starting on any of the recipes. You make them very easy to follow. Thank you very much.

I just saw this recipe and haven’t made these yet, but plan to bake them within the week. I have been baking bread with sourdough starter (inherited from grandparents, and my parents made almost all of our bread with this same starter) for more than 50 years, but only in recent years have I ventured away from the one recipe I grew up eating. I am definitely interested in trying your sourdough recipes. At almost 83 years old, I want to be more adventurous. Thanks for all of your work creating delicious and fool-proof recipes!

In reply to TERESA BERRY.

Hi Teresa! I recommend beginning the sourdough starter with whole wheat flour to give it a boost, but I only use whole wheat flour for a few days before switching to bread flour, so I wouldn’t consider it to be a whole what starter. You don’t even have to use whole wheat flour in the beginning it’s just a recommendation. So nope, they are not whole wheat english muffins. I hope that helps but let me know if you have any other questions 🙂

Does your sourdough starter need to be made with whole wheat flour, or can I use white bread flour? And does this sourdough english mufffin recipe use your whole wheat sourdough starter? Does it affect the taste of the muffins, in other words, do the english muffins taste like whole wheat muffins?
