Crumpets and English Muffins are often confused. Both are popular at teatime or breakfast with butter and jam, and both are small, round, and bread-like, containing yeast to make them rise. However, Crumpets, which are eaten with butter on top and not split in half, are made from a batter and cooked in a skillet like pancakes. English Muffins, on the other hand, are made from a yeast dough and baked and are usually split in half horizontally and served with butter, jam or clotted cream like a scone or a sandwich.
