Just found this site. As an engineer myself, I particularly enjoy it. I have been making my own hamburger buns for a couple of years, all with a bread machine. I started with white flour and have graduated to half whole wheat flour, both because it gives a better flavor and because it is more healthy. It is easy to modify the recipe to make any size desired.

I can post the recipe if anyone is interested. What say you all? (That's not the southern Yall. I am in Seattle.)

Once or twice a week, I am too pooped to cook (usually when teaching evening classes).

The solution - swing by Five Guys (one of the better hamburger joints) on the way home. Once home, ditch the (by then) soggy rolls and repackage in freshly toasted English Muffins. Add some onion and a little A-1 Sauce. Mmmmm.

Best,

john

My family doesn't make hamburgers often, but when we do, they are TO DIE for!

We try to be healthier, so we use extra lean ground beef to make our patties. Since lean meat does not hold it's shape well, we add pieces of bread. We also add spices and garlic to the burger, which are very common, but we also add chunks of green apple. I have never seen green apples in burgers anywhere else, and if you have never tried it, this is a MUST in any burger recipe! SL

Tried this out, and scaled up the ingredients and whatnot. They came out a little thicker than I'd have liked, but that was my own fault; and overall - complete success!

Hole Phoods sells a nice brioche in packs of 6 that make excellent hamburger buns

Sorry to post as a guest but it wouldn't let me register Sad

(on first attempt it told me that I had made too many password attempts!)

Anyway, I just want you to correct that statement about (English) muffins being created in America. They were widespread - including "Muffin Factories" in England long before they reached these shores. You know what they called them? Yep, you're right, MUFFINS Laughing Out Loud

The only thing created in America was calling them English Muffins to differentiate them from what in England they call - nope, not American Muffins - BUNS! Shock

Can you tell I'm English? Now I'm off to cook my first ever hamburger. Thanks for the great recipes Cool
