After last week’s crumpet disastrophe* I’m travelling back into the land of simple doughs and things that taste so much better when made at home.

Muffins. English Muffins. Do you know the muffin man?

The dough was made on Sunday and will rest for ~24 hours before portioned, griddled and slathered with butter and thick-cut orange marmalade. And other tasty things…like a fried egg or tomato and cheese or a fried egg with tomato and cheese… or…

*I made photos of the sad, sad crumptaster but it still pains me to look at the images.
