  • White Spelt English Muffins

    450g white spelt flour (I prefer shipton mill flour)

    150ml buttermilk
    150ml Kara milk
    1tsp sugar
    2tsp yeast
    Salt
    Butter melted

    Mix everything together until smooth, I use a machine though you can do it with a spoon. Scatter rice flour on a baking tray. When dough looks smooth, break of a small bit of dough and using rice flour to stop it sticking, shape it into a round flat disc shape and place on tray. I get 10-12 muffins from this much dough.

    Cover tray with a tea towel and leave to rise for twenty minutes.

    Meanwhile heat a heavy bottom frying pan or griddle.

    After twenty minutes using a fish slice transfer three or four muffins to the hot pan. Cook for a few minutes and flip over, and cook on the other side.

    Roll out the pastry until it is about 2-3mm thick. Cut 8cm circles out of the pastry, roll up the ends and repeat you should get about 25 circles).

    Take a pastry circle, using a little water moisten the edges. Place one teaspoon of mixture in the base and then press the edges together firmly. Place on a baking sheet.
    Repeat until all the pastry discs are full. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for ten minutes.
