Muffin Magic: Transform A Plain English Muffin Into A Beauty Queen
Overview
Actually, there is no such thing as a plain English muffin. Every English muffin is a de facto beauty compared to a plain slice of toast. From the nifty fork split to the inviting nooks and crannies to that special dusting on top (it’s cornmeal), English muffins are special.
But did you know how special? Until we saw the recipe ideas from Wolferman’s—especially the designs on the next page—we had no idea. Enjoy them and the recipe below.

- Pinch nutmeg
