English Muffins

I have not been able find them since Chedraui bought out CCC.
However.....Walmart had something called Bagel Dulce and surprise, surprise; they are excellent English Muffins.
Just a heads up

Judy - I saw English muffins in Chedraui last Friday for the first time in a looong time . . . one day I would like to meet the buyer there, who seems to live in her own world - which does NOT include Lipton's (black) tea.

comitan - 1-15-2012 at 05:23 PM

Aramburos has them, and the buyer at Chedraui is a man and he was the buyer for CCC.!

bajajudy - 1-15-2012 at 06:10 PM

Walmart also had Lipton black tea...for some unknown reason it is called yellow tag or yellow label.
These bagels dulces :spingrin:

are better than the ones at CCC.

Have you considered making them? Really easy on the griddle like pancakes and you can freeze them. Better than anything you can buy.

Paula - 1-15-2012 at 08:34 PM

Could you post a recipe, Dave?

Bob and Susan - 1-15-2012 at 08:49 PM

Bajatripper - 1-15-2012 at 09:13 PM

We're waiting, Dave.

You can buy English Muffins at the El Sol market in Todos Santos. It is 1 block up on the right coming into TS from Pescadero (Cabo). They have bagels too and lots of other "Gringo" foodstuff.

It seems that Alton Brown has become the new Messiah of good recipes. I am a worshiper.

Here is the one many are raving about. It does require English muffin rings, but Brown points out that small tuna cans will also work.

This is one of the few that gives you the 'nooks and crannies'. Not quite as nooky as Thomas', in my experience.

Now why does Peter Sellers come to mind? :?:

Bajajudy - where do you find the bagel dulces at Walmart? In the panaderia or in the bread aisle or somewhere else?

Recipe...What's that???

I've found 5.5 oz cat food cans work better. They're a bit fatter than tuna tins. The key to nooks & crannies is getting the yeast working. Let it sit until it starts to bubble a bit then incorporate it with the dry ingredients. Also, the dough should be wet and sticky. You may need to add more liquid. BTW, if you don't have powdered milk you can substitute milk where the recipe calls for water. I also like to throw in an egg.

Panderia.
And they are wonderful. I am having one as I type with cheese melted on top...yummmmmmmmmmmm
BTW they only have crannies...

so if you cook in in an old catfood can does it taste fishy

Hook - 1-16-2012 at 04:56 PM

Dave, you mean the cans are taller (and thus create fatter EMs) or the CANS are fatter (larger in diameter)? I havent looked at a cat food can in probably 45 years.

That makes great sense, especially for someone such as Judy who resides in the Los Cabos area. Aramburo catered to the tourists way before the other Mexican chains arrived.

Not if you let the cat lick them clean.

And if you time it right your muffins will taste a bit like cat's a$$.

Taller, yes.

bajalinda - 1-16-2012 at 05:52 PM

Thanks Bajajudy - I'm going to look for them at the Walmart in La Paz and hope that their panaderia has the same selection as Cabo.

Roberto - 1-16-2012 at 05:53 PM

I smell a rat. As I recall, your wife knows a thing or two about baking. Are you just passing off someone else's work as your own? Are you a poser English Muffin Baker? I demand to see your official records.

I am an English Muffin Maven. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the David K School of English Muffin Making. When I am not making English Muffins I am lecturing about them. I frequently sleep with English Muffins. :cool:

I wish I could document my curriculum vitae but all records were destroyed in the great muffin fire of '07. We also lost the cat. Burnt to a crisp.

Poor Muffin. :no:

Paula - 1-17-2012 at 04:31 PM

Well, MY English muffins~~when I get around to making them~~ will taste of nothing but muffin. Not a hint of fish, liver, lamb or chicken pet food for me!

This recipe requires no muffin rings.
