What is it about your favorite pair of jeans that even when they wear out, you don't want to get rid of them? The older they get, the more comfy they are. Even at my age of AHEM-something years old, I love wearing jeans, or denim more than anything else. But, after awhile, you end up with a stack of worn out jeans that you can't wear anymore but hate to just discard because you figure that there must be something to do with those old jeans!

It is rare for me to bake bread at the beginning of July. The summer here does not invite that type of activity. But, the other day I shared a recipe for Bannock, a stovetop bread. That got me to thinking about what other breads I could make on my griddle and I knew that English Muffins was one of them.
I had only made English Muffins once before, and that was YEARS ago! I had thought that I could only make them with sour dough starter, and I never end up keeping any around my kitchen. But, I decided to try to make them with regular yeast and see how they turned out. Guess what! They were a hit with everyone in my house! (There are currently quite a few of us here!)
My muffins came out light and fluffy. One big deal is that they cooked all of the way through! That seems like a giant feat for me because:
English Muffins are baked on a griddle that is sprayed with cooking spray and then sprinkled with corn meal or farina. The dough should be soft and smooth. Check out this gallery of photos:
Okay, there aren't really any "nooks and crannies," and no sour dough flavor, but the fluffy, yeasty flavor is really, really good. I hope you give these a try.

I woke up this morning and thought that biscuits would be really nice to have with eggs and bacon. But, then I thought, "No, that would require turning on my oven." That was when Bannock came into my mind.
I had made Bannock once before just for fun when we were cooking outside over the firepit. It is the way trappers of centuries ago may have eaten bread in the wilderness. It is said to have been brought here from Scotland and even adopted by some Native American tribes in Canada. I like Bannock because it is very much like biscuits, but can be cooked on the stovetop in a skillet. Bannock comes out moist and tasty and holds up very well to dipping in your egg or making a breakfast sandwich or just spreading it with jam! 
This morning I ate mine with apricot jam that my son made with the apricots from his tree! So delicious!
Making the dough is so simple. Because this isn't a yeast dough, I like to just put my hands in it and pull it together into a soft ball of dough to mix it.
Next, I broke the dough into 8, roughly the same size, balls of dough. I make the bannock in a cast iron skillet that is well seasoned and covered with a thin coating of vegetable oil. Then, flatten the balls of dough and lay them into the preheated skillet. Don't over heat your pan, a medium heat is sufficient to keep it from burning on the outside and staying raw on the inside. 
Brown one side...
Then the other!
Bannock this morning made our breakfast particularly special and delicious!
If you don't want to heat up your house by turning on your oven, but you are craving some biscuits, give bannock a try! Here is the recipe!
