Questions about Plain English muffin
How do you split an English muffin without squashing it?
Push the tines of a fork all the way round the muffin’s edge, then pull the halves apart. The rough, craggy surface catches butter and jam better than a clean knife-cut surface.
Should you toast an English muffin from frozen?
Yes. Split it first, then toast the frozen halves until the centres are hot and the cut sides are crisp; they may need an extra cycle compared with fresh halves.
How do you store English muffins so they stay fresh?
Keep them sealed at room temperature and eat them within a few days. For longer storage, split them, freeze in a sealed bag and toast straight from frozen.
What do you put in an English muffin?
Butter, jam or marmalade work well on toasted halves. For a savoury meal, add a fried egg and cheese, or use the halves for a breakfast sandwich with cooked bacon or sausage.
Which is better for a breakfast sandwich, an English muffin or a bagel?
An English muffin is smaller and usually lower in energy: it has 235 kcal per 100 g, compared with 275 kcal in a plain bagel. Its craggy halves also toast quickly and hold fillings without the dense chew of a bagel.
How many calories are in one English muffin?
A typical muffin weighs about 57 g and contains 134 kcal. Split and toast it, then add toppings separately, as butter, jam and cheese change the meal’s total.
What is the difference between an English muffin and a regular muffin?
An English muffin is a small, yeasted bread cooked on a hot griddle, then split and toasted. A regular muffin is a soft, cake-like bake, usually made with baking powder and eaten whole.
