Have you ever wondered what else you can do with your sourdough discard? One of the many things you can use it for is to create sourdough English Muffins. Sourdough English Muffin are delicious and easy to make. My family loves these home made English Muffins and we eat them for breakfast with butter or jam and we even put on some sausage and egg to create our own version of the McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin. Join me and let’s make a batch.
