Origin of Chocolate Muffins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When talking about the issue of muffins, it is important to remember that the name refers to quite different products, depending on which part of the world you live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The English muffin is very different from the American version that uses baking powder; as the English muffin has a very ancient history and is still fermented with yeast, making it more of a bread than a cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooked in a disc format and served divided into two pieces, toasted and buttered, it has a resemblance to a crunchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the word muffin derives from the French word moufflet<\/b>, which is often applied to breads, and means mild; giving a clue about the historical recipes used to make muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

English muffins (unlike the modern version of quick bread) were made from yeast dough and baked on a hot cast-iron grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are believed to have a long culinary history dating back to 10th century Wales, where they were considered to be affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being cheap and easy to make, they were the food of the lower classes and did not grace the fashionable tea table until the late 17th century onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As afternoon tea became a meal in its own right, many cooks tried to create more substantial and elaborate spreads and in order to balance the variety of offerings of English muffins, toasted and buttered sweets would be offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing in popularity throughout the 19th century, the muffin became a popular snack in Britain and muffin factories sprang up across England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American muffins are very different from English muffins being a "quick bread" made in individual molds or boxes. Quick breads (chemically leavened as opposed to leavened yeast) were not developed until the late 18th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history of the American muffin owes its existence to the American discovery of pearlash as a breeding agent, an important development in the entire history of bakery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pearl is a refined form of potash, and produces carbon dioxide in the dough. In \u201cAmerican Cookery\u201d (1796 \u2013 the first American cookbook) Amelia Simmons<\/a> published recipes using pearl potash, this was a real turning point in both domestic and commercial cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking powder was not commercially developed until 1857 and the importance of this in the entire history of baking cannot be emphasized enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early American cake recipes tend to list far fewer ingredients and produce a simpler pastry than their contemporaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, an American muffin almost always has a baked \u201ctopping\u201d such as blueberries, chocolate chips, or raspberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The muffin became, in most cases, a sweeter affair and with the rise of artisanal coffee shops and bakeries, the American style muffin became available in a wide variety of flavors and its popularity spread across the world. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American muffin and the history of breeding agents are truly intertwined, and in the 1950s, several American companies introduced packaged muffin mixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These types of cake mixes were only possible due to the discovery and development of creating agents. By the 1960s, the muffin had become such a popular bakery item that attempts were made to manipulate the muffin like the donut and turn it into a food franchise business opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these rich, chocolatey muffins are definitely an indulgence, there's also a trend towards the leaner type of muffin: lower in sugar and fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
