What do you call a bun made to be dunked in milk, coffee, chocolate or whatever you like? The answer is Plain Muffins, meaning “wet with”. A bun quoted by Cervantes in his great work Don Quixote, which gives us a clue to the popular origin of this delicious sweet. And the fact is that wherever there is a Plain Muffin, there is a good bowl to dunk it in before enjoying its sponginess at breakfast and teatime.
