1) "Muffin" -- As to muffin cups muf·fin
Pronunciation: 'm&-f&n
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from Low German muffen, plural of muffe cake
: a quick bread made of batter containing egg and baked in a pan having cuplike molds Pronunciation Symbols
A US-style blueberry muffin. A split English muffin. A muffin is a bread- or cake-like baked good; American and English usage varies. In modern practice, it almost always has a "topping" baked in, such as blueberries or chocolate chips. The "quick" muffins may have started out as a form of small cake, or possibly an adaptation of cornbread. Early versions of these muffins tend to be less sweet and much less varied in ingredients than their contemporary forms. Made quickly and easily, they were useful as a breakfast food. They also rapidly grew stale, which prevented them from being a marketable baked good, and they were not seen much outside home kitchens until the mid-20th century.

With the invention of circular muffin paper cups, hard-to-clean iron gem pans lost popularity, and are rarely used today, although corn muffins baked in the form of ears of corn remain a tradition. The development of non-stick pans has allowed the production of very elaborate muffin shapes (animals, holiday motifs, etc.), but the circular muffin remains the norm. In the 1950s, packaged muffin mixes were introduced by several American companies. By the 1960s, attempts were being made to treat the muffin like the doughnut as a franchise food business opportunity. Coffee shop-style restaurant chains appeared, featuring a wide variety of muffins. These tended to be regional, such as The Pewter Pot in southern New England. No such business has emerged na..."
