OT diabetes on a plate
DH asked me a simple question. "What do they call english muffins in England?" "Crumpets? American muffins? Back muffins? Hockey pucks?" I guessed. He flashed me the eyeball that has "Good grief woman!" inscribed on the retina. Then went back to his violin forum where they are apparently discussing Duck, Duck, Goose, and english muffins. I went to google and started looking to see if I could find out the Answer. Along the way I found this: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2...ry-creme-eggs- benedict-dessert-breakfast-recipe.html Or made tiny: http://tinyurl.com/y8q5ttb One could wish the recipe might be made tiny! I am used to recipes that do not give a serving size feeding 1 or 2. This one probably serves 68. I think my blood sugar rose just reading it. By the by, so far as I can tell they don't actually have anything equivalent to english muffins in England. A fellow in Scotland from the violin forum told DH that the closest equivalent in the whole of the UK are shuffleboard biscuits. Thus my hockey puck guess was not too far afield.

They are just called muffins. However, so are the much bigger cake-like
things (like blueberry muffins). So only by context would you now know which someone is talking about... You can buy them in packets at any supermarket, right next to the crumpets.

OK, being from the UK, muffins are a type of bread that is split and
toasted and served with butter and jam. American style muffins exist, which are the same as USA, but the smaller English version are called buns or fairy cakes, can be iced and decorated. Crumpets are similar to English muffins, except that are fried to cook (not baked) and are toasted afterwards and served with butter and jam. Crumpets are like a large, thick blini. As far as I know hockey pucks and back muffins don't really exist in UK. Hope this helps Janner France On 22/05/2012 22:28, Hanne in DK wrote: They are just called muffins.

IMO crumpets is the correct answer. As for that recipe, diabetes on a
plate about sums it up. Yech! Roberta in D On Tue, 22 May 2012 20:24:45 +0000 (UTC), NightMist wrote: DH asked me a simple question. "What do they call english muffins in England?" "Crumpets?

muffins you describe :-) Hanne in DK Den 23-05-2012 12:11, Janner skrev: OK, being from the UK, muffins are a type of bread that is split and toasted and served with butter and jam.

English muffins are
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muffin_%28English%29 and crumpets are different and are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumpet There is a definite difference in texture and flavour. Muffins are like bread, crumpets are holy and spongy which allows for the butter to soak in....... Personally, I prefer crumpets to muffins, but that could be because crumpets are harder to find here in the shops. Muffins keep longer, but because of their moist content, the crumpets only keep a few days. Crumpets are lovely toasted over an open fire in winter......
