"An old English nursery rhyme, "The Muffin Man", describes a door-to-door purveyor of muffins. The rhyme was known at the time of Jane Austen in the early 19th century, and a muffin man is mentioned at one point in her novel Persuasion.[2] The muffins sold at this period were made of yeasted dough and baked on a hot griddle.

The name is first found in print in 1703, spelled moofin;[3] it is of uncertain origin but possibly derived from the Low German Muffen, or possibly with some connection to the Old French moufflet meaning soft as said of bread.[4][5]

Muffins may well originate as far back as the 10th century, yet the muffin became a fashionable bread during the 18th century. By the beginning of the 19th century, there were dozens of muffin factories in existence, and the "muffin man" was a common sight.

Muffins are a quick-baking bread and have become a tea-table staple. They are usually split, toasted, buttered, and then eaten with a savoury or sweet topping such as honey or, in Manchester, eaten non toasted with chips and butter."
