Classic English Muffins

Don't order an English Muffin in England, as you will likely get a funny look: Like the "French" in "French fries," the "English" in "English muffin" is just an American moniker, mostly assigned to distinguish the bearer of said moniker from traditional, American-style muffins. (You know, the kind that come sitting in little paper wrappers...and are often quite sweet.)

Trader Joe's Classic English Muffins are not sweet muffins-if anything, they're a bit savory. Technically speaking, they're soft, slightly spongy (picture a sourdough-like texture), puck-shaped pieces of bread, horizontally bisected into two, equal, circular halves.

Each Muffin has a toothsome exterior (more of a "skin" than a "crust," though), and an interior filled with plenty of...well, least we infringe upon on any trademarks, we'll say they're filled with plenty of "pockets & crevices." Yes, that's it. Pockets & crevices...

Point is, our new, kaizen-ed English Muffins are hearty and delicious-perfect for toasting and slathering with butter, cream cheese, peanut butter, etc. or for using as the base of a breakfast sandwich.
