Good afternoon folks, sorry if I missed anyone. We can say that today is my busiest day at work for the month and the new folks have officially kicked my butt.

I tried a new recipe for English muffins yesterday...they are the best biscuits! Not much as far as an EM but great biscuits DH and I had them for breakfast with sausage gravy.

Do you have sourdough starter?

I have the sourdough english muffin on the bakers thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/any-home-bakers-here.921333/post-15801595
