How come English Muffins are flat and taste like a biscuit?


Those are crumpets on the plate, though the boxes appear to contain muffins....  odd picture.

Incorrect.  Those are not crumpets.  Crumpets are "pan cakes" made with yeast.  Those are sliced muffins.  Outside of the UK, this type of muffin is known as an English Muffins.  As opposed to pastry muffins.

The difference between a crumpet and a pan cake is that the former uses baking powder or soda as a leavening agent and crumpets use yeast.
