Dough Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together your fed sourdough starter with warm water until fully combined.
- Gradually add all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, softened unsalted butter, a large egg, and salt into the mixture.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, which should take about 5 minutes.
Kneading and Rising
- Transfer the shaggy dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Lightly oil a large bowl and place your kneaded dough into it, turning once to coat.
- Cover the bowl and let it rise until it has doubled in size, about 3 to 4 hours.
Shaping Muffins
- Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface.
- Roll the dough out to a thickness of about ½ inch and cut out muffins with a 3-inch round cutter.
- Place the cut muffins on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for an additional hour.
Cooking Muffins
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and carefully transfer the risen muffins onto it.
- Cook them for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 190°F.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool.

Notes
Use a bubbly starter for best results. Store muffins at room temperature for up to 5 days, refrigerate for 7 days, or freeze for 3 months.
