==Preparation== |
|||
Muffins are a more bread-like version of the [[crumpet]]. They are simply referred to as muffins (sometimes breakfast muffins) in the UK and sometimes in Australia and [[New Zealand]]. Muffins are made with a soft, kneaded [[dough]] of [[flour]], [[milk]], [[yeast]], [[sugar]], and [[salt]]. This [[Proofing (baking technique)|proof]]s (rises), is rolled out and formed into shape, and left to rise again. The muffins are typically cooked in an [[oven]], but may be re-heated using a grill or toaster. |
|||
==Methods of serving== |
|||
Muffins are commonly available for retail in the United States, the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. They are also found on the breakfast menus of American [[fast food]] restaurants worldwide. They are most often toasted then topped with butter and/or jam. They are also used in [[breakfast sandwich]]es with [[meat]] ([[bacon]], [[ham]], or [[sausage]]), [[egg (food)|egg]] ([[fried egg|fried]], [[scrambled egg|scrambled]], [[Poached egg|poached]] or [[Poached egg (steamed)|steam-poached]]) and / or cheese. They are the base ingredient in the traditional New York [[brunch]] dish, ''[[Eggs Benedict]]''. |
