Excerpt from The Modern Baker, Confectioner and Caterer, Vol. 2: A Practical and Scientific Work for the Baking and Allied Trades; With Contributions From Leading Specialists and Trade Experts; Divisional
In all parts of the kingdom there are certain kinds of small bread which find Special favour. These are not SO essentially different in the materials from which they are made as in the Shape and condition of the crust. Among such small goods the English mafia may be first noticed. At one time these were sold by nearly every baker who professed to make small goods, especially in the winter months, but the art of manufacture has now been almost lost to the general trade, and has been specialized, so that muffin-baking has become a distinct trade, the ordinary baker buying daily supplies on wholesale terms. Muffins are essentially Old-fashioned fare, and custom has now so much changed that they are not regarded as essentials on the tea tables of the present genera tion. This change Of custom is responsible for the change in the trade. The ordinary baker sells so few that it is not worth his while to keep a hot plate for their manufacture. In provincial centres, and especially in country towns, the tiade is still to a great extent in the hands Of the ordinaiy baker, and considerable difficulty is frequently experienced in making them of the quired lightness and the propei degree of holeyness.
