Muffin's

I am not sure if I translate everything well. But I try ?!

English and American muffins
There were originally two kinds of muffins, English and American, each a different flavor. English muffins were made from yeast dough and baked on a griddle type (similar to scones). American muffins were baked in individual ramekins because the batter was thin. Muffins are centuries old and in the course of time countless variants of thought.

 Sweet or savory
Muffins can be sweet or savory variations in baking. Depending on the chosen ingredients, they seem more like cake or bread. They are eaten as breakfast or a snack with coffee or as a snack.Based on the dough
The ingredients of a muffin include:flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, butter or liquid vegetable oil, milk (buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream).
The more sugar and butter, the more it starts to look like a cupcake.
