Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a classic English muffin with raisins? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take premium flour, eggs — C1 or C0. Remove the eggs and butter from the refrigerator about an hour before cooking; they should be at room temperature. If you plan to use vanilla sugar instead of vanillin, use 10 times more than the specified amount.

Step 2

Step 2
To knead the dough, take a deep bowl in which it will be convenient to use the mixer. Cut the butter into cubes and place in a bowl, add sugar, vanillin and salt. Beat everything until smooth and fluffy.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash the eggs with soap. Continue beating the dough, adding one egg at a time to the bowl of dough.

Step 4

Step 4
Beat well until fluffy. Itʼs time to turn on the oven at 170 degrees so that it has time to warm up.

Step 5

Step 5
To make the raisins softer and remove the oil that is used to treat dried fruits before sale, fill them with warm, approximately 70°C, water. Stir it around to get the water into all the raisins. Do not use boiling water as this will cook the raisins. I didn’t wash the raisins because I used my own homemade ones. Add it to the dough and stir.

Step 6

Step 6
Sift the flour, add baking powder and stir until it is evenly distributed throughout the flour. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baked goods will turn out airy and rise well during baking.

Step 7

Step 7
Add flour in small portions and mix it into the dough using a spoon or spatula. The dough should not spread and the consistency should be like thick sour cream.

Step 8

Step 8
Take a mold approximately 20x10 cm in size. Grease the bottom and edges with a thin layer of butter or line with non-stick parchment. In order for the dough to rise well, it must be baked immediately. Pour it into the mold and smooth it out. To make the cake crack more accurately, make a furrow along the middle of the cake with a spatula dipped in water. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven at top+bottom mode for 1 hour. Determine the exact time and temperature based on your oven.
