The English muffin has a rich history dating back to 10th century England. Originally known as "crumpets," these yeast-leavened bread rounds were cooked on a griddle, creating their signature nooks and crannies. In the 18th century, they evolved into the English muffins we know today. Chefs like Samuel Bath Thomas popularized them in the US, where they became a breakfast staple. Today, the best English muffins can be found in artisanal bakeries and breakfast spots in England and the US. The key to a perfect English muffin lies in its texture—crisp and golden on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. Whether topped with butter and jam or used as a base for eggs Benedict, the English muffin continues to delight food lovers worldwide.
