Muffins are individual small cakes that appeared in Wales during the XIe century. They are very popular in Anglo-Saxon countries, especially in the United States.
To prepare muffins, you first mix the liquid ingredients and the dry ones separately, then quickly mix the two types of ingredients. Muffins are never iced like cupcakes.
Common flavors are chocolate, strawberry, bananas, raspberry, vanilla or blueberry. Blueberry muffins are North American baking classics.
