No!!!!! Stop!!!! My head is about to explode.
I don't know anymore! Plz send me some scones!! I'll make the clotted cream.
OOOOOH, clotted cream! Now that's just cruel.
I can't resist it though.... @Embo, bagels are completely different.
Just google them, I'm waiting for my scones to come out of the oven.
Hate you!
(yes. it's pure jealousy talking!)
I know, didn't for a minute think you were serious!
I'm seriously sulking about the clotted cream.... is it difficult to make?
PS; then we can start a discussion about cream first (Devon) or after the jam (Cornwall).
Me, I don't care as long as there's cream!
Love this thread!
Can I have the scones recipe, please? Pretty please??
Of course you can. PM on it's way in a few minutes (once I've brushed the crumbs off my computer keyboard).

WHOAWHOA I come from America, the land of cupcakes.
BIG difference between muffins and cupcakes.
They are an entirely different texture, one that you need to taste to experience.
Also, the flavors and tastes are different. If I were making a chocolate cupcake, it would in no way be the same as a recipe for a muffin.
SHEESH.
Cupcakes are mini versions of cake. Same texture, toppings similiar.
Muffins are a different texture and made to taste different, bran is a type of healthier muffin.
Whoopie pies are entirely different and I would suggest you google them. They are like cake sandwiches.
Crumpets are what Americans call English Muffins.
English Muffins are what English call Crumpets.
Cheesecake Cupcakes are usually a little cake batter, with a massive amount of cheesecake batter so it forms one. They are delicious.
any other questions?

Humingbird bakery in london do amazing whoopie pies, i ahev a load of rexipes for them but never tired making them.
Normally finding marshmellow fluff isnt very easy!
Cupcakes are fun, interesting and made in a variety of different flavours, styles and colours. Muffins are meant to be denser.
I have heard tho that swiss folk dont appreciate butter icing! This is shocking and very silly of them, but then more for me!
I have been making cupcakes for 10 years now and its great to see so many people getting involved in the baking trend but definately makes its less special for those who have always enjoyed it now everyone on the boat!
They love them!
You can get fluff at the American stores. But you can also make an Italian meringue for the filling if you are desperate to make them and don't have fluff. It could happen! Anyway there is only ONE recipe for whoopie pies! Only chocolate.
I won't even tell you how many years I've been making cupcakes. It will give my age away.
No, crumpets and muffins are entirely different things.
Ah, that would explain your ignorance of such things
To get something quite close to a real (English, of course) muffin, you could do worse than trying Toast Brötchen . available at co-op stores and I'm sure elsewhere too. They'd pass for a muffin if so labelled, I'm pretty sure.

I was not saying a crumpet is the same as a muffin. I am saying that an English Muffin is the American title for a Crumpet.
DUH
If you see our conversation above, you'll see that a crumpet is not what we call "English muffins". English muffins & crumpets are different. In the UK an English muffin is just called a muffin.
(at least that's what I go from the very confusing discussion earlier on in the thread!)
Yes, I knew what you were saying, and it's wrong. "English Muffin" is the American term for what the English call a "Muffin". A crumpet is something entirely different.
English muffins vs crumpets
The one with the holes in the top is a crumpet, the other is an English muffin. Completely different in appearance and texture.
That is an English muffin sliced in half!!!!!!
OK.
A coupla polite muffin jokes please..
Nope. The crumpet you can put in the toaster and spread margarine and honey on top, wait a minute and it will have soaked through to the bottom. You can then bite your crumpet and its like a honey comb inside, yummy. Although I never saw them in the USA.
An English Muffin is the kind of thing you expect your eggs benedict to be served on.
