Muffins :)

Today's blog is dedicated to::Muffins::
Muffins are not at all like small cakes. They are not cupcakes either. Muffin can be all sorts of things, for example it's more than just a small yummy breakfast item. A muffin is a small baked good. When you think of a muffin you probably think of something that looks like a cupcake::

Although this is the most common kind of muffin, muffin a can actually be more than that. Another type of muffin is the English muffin. The English muffin is also a delicious breakfast baked good. The English muffin is a flat, disk-shaped baked good. This scrumptious breakfast item was originated in Britain. Then they made their way to the Americas, although the Americans changed things a little bit and Americanized the English muffin to what it is today. (As seen in the picture to your left)

The word "muffin" appeared in Britain around the 11th century, derived from the Old French moufflet, which meant "soft" in reference to bread. Muffins may have started out as a form of small cake. Early versions of these muffins tend to be less sweet and much less varied in ingredients than their contemporary forms. Made quickly and easily, they were useful as a breakfast food. They also rapidly grew stale, which prevented them from being a marketable baked good, and they were not seen much outside home kitchens until the mid-20th century. Recipes tended to be limited to different grains like corn, wheat bran, or oatmeal and a few readily available additives such as raisins or apples in some form, or nuts.

Well thats really all I have to say about muffins. If you have any more ideas, sugguesstions, comments or questions please feel free to leave them with me. Thank you and happy blogging.
