I've never tried making English muffins, which feels like quite an oversight given that I've had Aage for over 14 years now and sourdough English muffins seems to be a super popular use for sourdough starter discards. Time to remedy that - for this first go, I'm just following this recipe.

Ingredients
- 100g Aage (recently fed)
