English muffin

An English muffin is a small, round, flat yeast-leavened (sometimes sourdough) bread which is commonly about 4 in (10 cm) in diameter and 1.5 in (4 cm) tall. It is generally split horizontally and served toasted. They are unsweetened and frequently eaten with sweet or savoury toppings, such as butter, fruit jam, honey, eggs, sausage, bacon, or cheese. English muffins are an essential ingredient in eggs Benedict and a variety of breakfast sandwiches derived from it, such as the McMuffin. Rather than being entirely oven-baked, they are also cooked in a griddle on the stove top and flipped from side-to-side, which results in a flattened shape rather than the rounded top seen in baked rolls or cake-type muffins.
