Muffin
Muffins are a quick bread that is usually leavened with baking powder or soda. They are made with flour, milk, sugar, butter, eggs, and sometimes fruits or nuts. Muffins are baked in a pan with individual cups.
The word “muffin” is derived from the French word “moufflet” which means soft. The first muffins were made in England in the early 18th century. They were small, round, and flat. They were made with a yeast-based dough and were cooked on a griddle.
In the 19th century, muffins became more like what we know them as today. They were leavened with baking powder or soda and were made with flour, milk, sugar, butter, and eggs. They were often served for breakfast with butter and jam.
