ENGLISHMUFFIN

English muffin

A muffin or English muffin is a small, round, flat type of yeast-leavened bread which is commonly served split horizontally, toasted, and buttered. Muffins may be clean-sliced or fork-split, the latter yielding a less regular, more textured surface. The term "English muffin" is most commonly used in North America to distinguish between the savory bread and the more well known sweet, cake-like muffin, which are sometimes known as "American muffins". They are commonly eaten in the United States and the rest of the English-speaking world.
