    And now I want cream tea (that's what the scone debacle is called).

    I had a scone today, it was not moist at all. My cup of coffee helped me chug it down.

    Aren't scones the antithesis of a muffin?

    You're scone-ing wrong. You want some jam and clotted cream on there.

    I knew a Brit would chime in! What is clotted cream? Googling now.

    ETA Sounds amazing and amazon sells it. Getting me some.

    It should really be bought fresh, I don't know how not fresh stuff tastes. I hope it's good because it's a godly combination.

    I will look for fresh. Or I can make it myself.

    Next we should debate whether the clotted cream goes on first with the jam on top or vice-versa. :)

    PS: I'm a "jam first" kinda gal.

    Dried up muffins can be re-animated by coarsely crumbling them up and gently folding them with Greek yogurt and an appropriate fruit. Creates a trifle sort of affair. Less sadness.

    I'll have to try this. Salvation for a crusty, old muffin. @snickerscharlie this may be for you too!

    Speak for yourself. ;) As much as I detest dry muffins, a soggy, mushy one would be just as bad. It's a texture thing. :)

    Being I'm not from the south of England, I don't care what you do with your scone toppings. I like cream first though, pain in the *kitten* trying to an even spread with jam slipping about underneath. I don't do toppings per bite, whole scone.

    I'm on board with anything cinnamon related. Cinnabon is pretty much one of my first eats when I land in the US on holiday!

    That and a cinnamon sugar Wetzel's Pretzel.

    Your post reminded me of muffins my best friend's mom used to bake when I was in high school. Cinnamon Applesauce. They were amazing! The applesauce kept them nice and moist.

    Found a recipe for them that looks good:

    I'm not fussed with regular muffins, but an English muffin with baked beans is the best.

    On a side note, Wikipedia says that three states in the US have official state muffins:
    Massachusetts - corn muffin
    Minnesota - blueberry muffin
    New York - apple muffin

    Is a corn muffin anything like cornbread?

    I forgot about this thread, but have been having a hungry kind of day, so thought it should be revisited.

    Anyone else want to share their muffin stories?

    I'm not sure we're at the muffin story sharing stage yet :laugh:

    These are cute though:

    ETA I see they're also on page one. I should really try to be more original!

    I like them though. Super cute. But what are your muffin tops made of?

    I like a toasted corn muffin with butter. My Blue Tick Hound is sorry that we don't have these anymore.
