The English muffin, as we know it today, is a type of yeast-leavened bread product that is griddled or cooked on a stovetop. Historically, similar griddled bread products have been made in England for centuries. The term “muffin” itself has been used in English cuisine to refer to various types of bread products since at least the 18th century. These early muffins were typically made with yeast and were cooked on a griddle, similar to the modern English muffin.
How English are they? The answer lies in the nooks and crannies.
