English Muffins are just called Muffins in the
UK, but then so are American
Muffins, so citizens tend to distinguish on the basis of visuals. Muffins traditionally come in
wholemeal and white form, with upclass
supermarkets creating various spiced muffins, or muffins with raisins/
sundried tomato/stuff contained in the dough. All go wonderfully with
butter, and work well as a more indulgent substitute to toast.
I'm not sure if American Muffins are made differently here than in the
US, but that kind of muffin in this country is invariably a super-dense lump of chocolate-chipped
mass, which no human can eat in one sitting.
