Did You Know? There are two very different foods called "muffin" — the flat, round English muffin that you split and toast, and the tall, dome-shaped American muffin that is more like a small cake! The English muffin has been made in England since the 10th century. The expression "muffin top" (to describe something spilling over the edge) was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2011.
