Does anybody here know why english muffins are actually called 'English' muffins? Because none of my english friends seem to know.

This is a serious question, btw; this is not spam or anything. Until recently I've thought of as a muffin as like a giant cup cake, but an especially moist one. I knew the bread on the McDonalds breakfast sandwiches were referred to as 'muffins' but I thought that was an United State'ian thing.

I don't know any shops that sell them so I couldn't actually say if they're from a British company or not.

Is it like 'French Fries' not actually being French?
