This is a really easy and delicious combination that I think you'll enjoy. I made the english muffins from scratch, but for a much quicker version just use store bought whole grain muffins or rolls. Lately I prefer using organic white whole wheat flour for breads like this, but regular whole wheat flour will work as well!
Blueberry Honey Ricotta
2 tbsp fresh ricotta
2 tsp blueberry honey
Fresh blueberries
Mix together. Divide the mixture on top of a toasted english muffin, top with fresh blueberries
English Muffins
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 pkg) active dry yeast
1 cup fat free milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter
4-5 cups white whole wheat flour
cornmeal for rolling
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a mixing bowl. Combine milk, sugar, salt, and butter, and heat to 110 F. Add to yeast mixture along with 3 cups flour. Beat for 3 minutes. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough and turn out onto floured surface. Knead for 3-5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place in a bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise 1 hour.
Divide the dough in half, and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll dough on a surface sprinkled with cornmeal to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into circles with a biscuit cutter. Place circles onto ungreased baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let rise 20 minutes.
Place muffins onto a medium heat griddle or skillet and cook until brown on each side. Split with a fork and toast before serving.

I had no idea it was even possible to make English Muffins yourself. I thought they had the secret recipe locked up in the attic of Mr. Thamas' Victorian mansion or something. Can't wait to try it out for myself.

I agree with Woody, I had NO idea you could make English Muffins. I eat them every morning. I will have to try this for sure! Great Job!

We live in Florida where there is an abundance of blueberries and blueberry honey. I have blueberry honey in the cupboard now (we eat on biscuits). I can't wait to try your recipe. Thanks.
