Cross-Contamination Warning for Gluten-Free English Muffins: When preparing this baking recipe, cornmeal is often milled with grains that contain gluten, so buy one labeled gluten-free. Rolling pins, boards and dough scrapers hold flour in their grain and edges. Use parchment or a freshly washed nonporous surface. Flour dust travels. Bake this on a day the kitchen is not also handling flour that contains gluten, use clean bowls, beaters and baking sheets, and keep the gluten-free flour blend in its own sealed container.
Gluten-Free Notes for Gluten-Free English Muffins: The dough uses a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with psyllium husk and xanthan gum, and the cornmeal dusting should also be gluten-free. Use yeast, psyllium, cornmeal and a flour blend labeled gluten-free.

Instructions
Tips & Notes
- Cook the English muffins over medium-low heat. A hot griddle browns the outside long before the thick center cooks.
- Split English muffins with a fork instead of a knife. The torn surface keeps the nooks and crannies that crisp up in the toaster.
- Freeze split English muffins and toast them from frozen. They keep well for up to 3 months.
