17:52 A nook is "a secluded or sheltered place or part", while a cranny is "a small break or slit" and/or "a small narrow opening". The two words have similar meanings, but there seems to be a difference in the _shape_ of the space described - both are "semi-enclosed spaces", but crannies are generally narrower and/or crevice-like. In the context of English muffins, "nooks and crannies" could probably be translated as "bubbles and crevices", or "roundish pockets and flat-ish pockets".

One positive thing about posting at 09:00 central, is that I have something awesome to listen to on my way to school.

"How lucky are we, to be getting all that content for free?" - Mike's mic

My favorite KZreadr showing me how to make my favorite kind of muffins? That's a positive!

Finished these on the griddle this morning. I made a double batch and lined the parchment paper with two types of 'cornmeal', grits and masa harina. I definitely like the masa harina better, but the English muffins came out amazing even with a couple mistakes on my end. The honey gives purely flavor, not sweetness, which astounds me in a good way and they are fluffy and moist. I've honestly never had an English muffin that wasn't dry, so that was a great experience. Can't wait to freeze these and have them for breakfast regularly! The book Dessert Person was the best Christmas gift! 😁

I am not a person who bakes. I don't actually even like most baked goods, but I love Claire! I watch her because I like her, I am never going to cook like her. If she ever opens a shop that ships orders to Missouri, I would order bread and English muffins and if she had it on the menu, strawberry cheesecake. Not often, I have a tight budget, but it would be worth every penny!

Thank you so much for the feline friends update! So glad that Felix is okay and Maya and Archie are living their best lives.

Samuel Beth Thomas did not 'invent' the English muffin in the 1880s - he made and packaged as 'English' (to distinguish it from the American sweet muffin) the muffin that was commonly sold in England when he moved to the USA. The Oxford English Dictionary records that the term muffin (or 'moofin') to mean 'a wheat flour cake baked upon a bake-stone' was used in 1703. In addition, there is a recipe for muffins in Hannah Glasse's 1747 The Art of Cookery Made Plain and the nursery rhyme 'Do You Know The Muffin Man?' which refers to a muffin seller in London's Drury Lane was first collected in 1820. So English muffins are indeed English, its just English people call them 'muffins' not 'English muffins'. That inaccuracy aside - great video!!

You could make a batch of breakfast sandwiches for the freezer! I’ve yet to find a way not to use plastic wrap for this, but if you wrap each one individually then put them all in a freezer ziploc, you can pull out one at a time and pop in the microwave in a paper towel - just like the mangy ones you get in a box at the store - but delicious! 😋 I’m in the same boat on trying to eat better stuff in the morning so I don’t get a sugar crash before lunch.

I’m making these today! I transcribed the recipe for reference. Mix flour and salt in stand mixer bowl Scald the milk (30-60 seconds). Mix in butter and honey. Allow to cool to 100 degrees Proof the yeast in 2 tablespoons of the milk mixture. Mix the dry and wet ingredients for 6-8 minutes in a stand mixture. In the meantime, oil a bowl. Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl. Dough should be sticky but well-formed. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for a couple of hours or until doubled in size. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment, lightly oil and dust with cornmeal. Pat the dough on the baking sheet into a ½” disk. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours. In the morning, cut out the dough into ~3.5” round muffins. Return the muffins to the fridge. Heat a dry skillet over low. Cook the muffins on the first side for 5-7 minutes. Rotate the man every few minutes. Do not touch the muffins. When the muffins smell yeast and delicious and the top looks matte, flip the muffins. Cook until browned. Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes or so. Open them with a fork. Enjoy as a breakfast sandwich or with candied kumquats.
