These homemade English muffins are made entirely without yeast and cook right on the stovetop.

Step 1: Blend the Cottage Cheese and Eggs

Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a blender or food processor.

Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

Make sure there are no large cottage cheese curds remaining.

Step 2: Make the Dough

Transfer the blended cottage cheese mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Add the self-rising flour and salt.

Stir gently until the ingredients come together and form a thick, soft dough.

Avoid overmixing once the dough has formed.

Step 3: Prepare the Work Surface

Lightly flour a clean work surface.

Transfer the dough onto the floured surface and sprinkle a small amount of additional flour over the top to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Flatten the Dough

Using your hands, gently flatten the dough until it’s approximately ¾-inch thick.

Avoid pressing too aggressively. Handle the dough gently to maintain a soft finished texture.

Step 5: Cut the English Muffins

Using a 3-inch round biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds.

Gather the remaining scraps, gently reshape them, and continue cutting until you have approximately 6 English muffins.

Step 6: Heat the Skillet

Lightly grease a large skillet or griddle.

Heat it over medium-low heat.

Using moderate heat is important because the muffins are relatively thick and need enough time for their centers to cook before the outsides become too dark.

Step 7: Cook the First Side

Place the English muffins in the skillet, leaving a little space between each one.

Cook for approximately 5–7 minutes on the first side.

The bottoms should become lightly golden rather than deeply browned.

Step 8: Flip and Continue Cooking

Carefully flip each muffin.

Cook the second side for another 5–7 minutes over medium-low heat.

Step 9: Cover to Finish the Centers

During the final 2–3 minutes, cover the skillet.

Trapping some heat inside the skillet helps the centers finish cooking more evenly.

The English muffins should be lightly golden on both sides and feel firm in the center.

If necessary, continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes per side over low heat.

Step 10: Cool Before Serving

Transfer the cooked English muffins to a wire rack.

Allow them to cool for 5–10 minutes before splitting.

For the best English muffin-style texture, split them with a fork rather than cutting straight through with a knife.
