dxb - I think there are two types of muffins in the US, and that's where some confusion is arising. We do have the English muffin, as described by Helen. Flat, lots of nooks and crannies for the butter, not sweet. These are always referred to as English muffins. The other sort of muffins are just called muffins, and this refers to the sweet, cake-like confections that are usually sold in a paper holder (we call them cupcake papers as Helen mentioned). They really are too big, and far too much fat and calories to be considered healthy.
