A typical English muffin is a small, round, flat bread that is yeast-leavened (or occasionally sourdough). Typically, it is served toasted and split horizontally. It's commonly eaten with sweet or savoury toppings like butter, fruit jam, honey, eggs, sausage, bacon, or cheese in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. Muffins can be used instead of other breads for French toast and are a necessary component of eggs benedict and many breakfast sandwiches inspired by it, including the McMuffin.
The word "muffin" was first used in written form in 1703, and muffin recipes first appeared in British cookbooks in Hannah Glasse's The Art of Cookery in 1747. The insides of the muffins are said to be "like a Honey-comb". The emergence of "muffin men," a sort of hawker who would go door to door selling English muffins as a snack bread before most homes had their own ovens, attests to the growing popularity of flatbread muffins in the 19th century.
Although muffins are sweeter than cupcake-shaped pastries, they are also savoury. There are many different types of muffins, such as multigrain, whole wheat, cranberry, cinnamon raisin, and apple cinnamon. Get to know these 5 spice combo, read more.
