+## Whole Wheat Sourdough English Muffins
+
+***JMonkey***
+
+> My daughter basically lives on these for breakfast. I save up old
+> starter over the week in the fridge and make these both during the
+> week and over the weekend. Super easy, and they freeze very well.
+> Simply split and freeze. When you want one, pop it directly in the
+> toaster from the freezer. I learned this recipe with volumetric
+> measures, and never bothered to convert to grams.

+> I adapted this recipe and converted it to whole wheat from a posting

+
+**Ingredients**
+
+* Sourdough starter: 1/2 cup (stiff or wet, makes no difference)
+* Milk: 1 cup if you use wet starter; 1.25 cups if you use stiff
+* Whole wheat flour: 2 cups
+* Honey: 1 Tbs
+* Salt: ¾ tsp
+* Baking soda: 1 tsp
+* Semolina flour or cornmeal, for dusting
+
+**The night before: starter**
+
+Dissolve the starter into the milk and then add the flour. Stir to
+combine, cover with a plate or plastic, and leave out for 8 hours or
+overnight. It’ll be pretty wet -- don't worry, it’ll firm up by
+morning.
+
+**Mixing and dough development**
+
+The next morning, add the honey, salt and baking soda and mix well.
+Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes with
+wet hands. With your fingers, flatten it out to ¾" thick  and cut
+with a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass into rounds.  Reflatten the
+scraps to make additional muffins. You’ll get 10-12 muffins.  Place
+muffins on a surface dusted with semolina, cornmeal or flour cover and
+let them rise for about 45 minutes to an hour.
+
+**Cooking**
+
+Spray griddle or skillet lightly with spray oil or add a little
+butter. (Actually, if it's nonstick, you may not need any grease at
+all.) Heat to medium high and cook muffins for about 5 minutes on each
+side, or until browned on the top and bottom and cooked through.
+These have great griddle spring and rise quite a bit.  They’re done
+when the sides are firm.
+
+Split with a fork and toast if you like. As noted above, they freeze
+very well.
