How To make Crumpets & Muffins (English)
1 qt Water
2 oz Yeast
1/2 lb Potatoes
1/2 oz Salt
Flour MUFFINS: Wash, peel & boil the potatoes, rub through a colander, add the water (just warm enough to bear the hand in it without discomfort); then dissolve the yeast & salt in it, & stir in sufficient flour to make a moist paste. Beat it well in a deep bowl & then clear off the paste from the hands; cover over with a clean cloth & leave it to rise in a warm place. When it has well risen, & is light & spongy, turn it out on the table, dredge over with flour, & then divide it off into pieces about 3 oz in weight, roll them up into round shapes, & set them on a wooden tray, well dusted with flour to prove. When light enough, see that the hot plate is hot, & then carefully transfer the muffins from the tray, one at a time, using a thin tin slice for the purpose, taking particular care not to knock out the proof or the muffins will be spoilt. When they have been properly cooked on one side, turn over with the slice & cook the other side. When the muffins are done, brush off the flour, & lay them on a clean clothe or sieve to cool. To toast them, divide the edge of the muffin all round by pulling it open to the depth of about 1 inch with the fingers. Put it on a toasting fork & hold it before a
clear fire till one side is nicely browned, but not burnt; turn, & toast it on the other. Do not toast them too quickly, otherwise the middle of the muffin will not be warmed through. When done, divide them by pulling them open; butter them slighlty on both sides, put them together again, & cut them into halves. Pile on a hot dish & send quickly to table. Time: 25 to 30 minutes to bake. Sufficient for about 2 dozen muffins. CRUMPETS: Proceed exactly the same as directed for Muffins (above), but stir in only half the quantity of flour used for them, so that the mixture is more of a batter than a sponge. Cover over, & leave for 1/2 an hour. At the end of that time take a large wooden spoon & well beat up the batter, leave in the spoon, cover over, & leave for another 1/2 an hour. Then give the batter another good beat up. This process must be repeated 3 times with the intervals. When completed, see that the hot plate is quite hot, lay out some crumpet rings rubbed over inside with a little clean lard on a baking tin, & pour in sufficient of the batter to make the crumpets. When cooked on one side, turn over with a palette-knife, & when done take off on to a clean cloth to cool. Muffins & crumpets should always be served on separate dishes, & both toasted & served as quickly as possible. Time: about 20 minutes to cook. Sufficient for about 2 dozen crumpets.

English muffins are so popular, they date back to the 10th Century and maybe not English but Welsh and can be confused with another classic British griddle cake the crumpet. But for me they are significantly different, in fact I have previously produced a video for crumpets and those are made from a foamy yeasty batter, while these English muffins are more of an enriched bread recipe that is gently cooked in a skillet.
Samuel Bath Thomas moved from Plymouth England to New York in 1874, he opened the Samuel Thomas bakery in Manhattan and made the 'English Muffin' famous.
There will be historians who dispute this and who knows I could be completely wrong, but does the history of a recipe matter that much when the delightful nooks and crannies that come from the fork splitting and then the toasting of said muffin, followed by ham a poached egg and hollandaise sauce are just so dang delicious?

Crumpets & (English) Muffins - What Are They? What's The Difference?
