Did you know that muffins, now a rich and flavorful treat, were initially made with leftover bread, biscuit dough and potatoes as a dish for the less fortunate?

The muffin dates back to the early 11th century in Wales, but over time gained popularity and became the classic companion to afternoon tea.

It was only in the 19th century that the recipe for muffins crossed the Atlantic to North America, evolving into the American-style muffin. These are usually made with baking powder, unlike their English counterparts.

Nowadays, a lot of different regional varieties exist, like the blueberry muffin in Minnesota and the apple muffins in New York. Which variety are you going to explore?
