Why Make English Muffins on a Griddle?
Using a Blackstone Griddle provides even heat and a large cooking surface that’s perfect for small-batch or bulk cooking. English muffins on a Blackstone develop a beautiful golden crust, and there’s just something extra special about making homemade bread outside.
Blackstone Griddle
My choice of flat top griddle is a Blackstone Griddle. Pick from a gas griddle or an electric griddle. They come in various sizes, accessories, and options.

Ingredients for Homemade English Muffins
Here’s everything you’ll need:
- Milk
- Egg
- Butter
- Salt
- Sugar, granulated
- Flour
- Instant Yeast
- Cornmeal
How to Make English Muffins from Scratch
Prepare the Milk: Warm your milk by microwaving it for about 1 minute or heating gently on the stove. It should be warm to the touch—not hot.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
Mix the Dough: In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the warm milk, beaten egg, flour mixture, and softened butter. Start on low speed until ingredients are fully incorporated. Increase the mixer to medium speed and knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Dough Rise: Grease a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size—about 1 to 2 hours, depending on room temperature.
Shape the Muffins: Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide into 16 equal pieces. If sticky, lightly flour your hands. Roll each piece into a smooth ball, then press each ball into cornmeal on both sides. Place on a sheet pan or board, cover with a towel, and let rise for 30 minutes.
Griddle Temperature for English Muffins
Turn your Blackstone Griddle to its lowest heat setting. Low and slow is the key to cooking griddle English muffins all the way through without burning the outside.
Cooking English Muffins on a Blackstone Griddle
- Place the dough balls onto your seasoned griddle (no need to grease it).
- Slightly flatten each dough ball with your hand.
- Cover with a dome lid or griddle cover to trap heat.
- Cook for about 4 minutes per side until both sides are golden brown.
- Check doneness by splitting one muffin open with a fork. The inside should be cooked through, not doughy.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your griddle, so keep an eye on the color and texture.
English Muffin Calories
Wondering about nutrition? On average, a homemade English muffin contains approximately 160–190 calories, depending on the size. They’re a great option for breakfast sandwiches or a healthier carb choice.
