Steps

  1. 01Split the English muffins using a fork, not a knife. Poke the fork around the perimeter and pull apart. This preserves the nooks and crannies that make English muffins special.
  2. 02Place the halves cut-side up in the air fryer basket.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer.
  4. 04Butter immediately after toasting while the surface is hot.
The fork-split technique is the difference between a real English muffin and a flat bread disc. A knife creates a smooth surface. A fork creates the rough, cratered texture that catches and holds melted butter in every nook. Takes 10 seconds longer and makes a real difference.
