Dutch muffin first appeared in Hodeida, the Netherlands, but there are two versions about when it was invented. First, it originated from 1784, which was made by an unknown baker with leftover sweet dough and syrup [1]; Another way of saying this is that a wafer named Gerard Kamphuisen made waffles with scraps from 18 10 to 1840 [2]. Because Dutch muffins were originally made of leftovers, they are waste, so they are quite cheap. As soon as it was launched, it was welcomed by the poor, so it was also called the threat of the poor in the early days. After 1870, Dutch muffins began to appear outside Haoda and soon became a famous snack in the Netherlands. Many open-air markets have stalls for freshly made Dutch muffins, and products produced by factories can also be bought in supermarkets.

Scone, also called English tea cake and English muffin, is a kind of scone thicker than Bannock. It is made of wheat, barley or grain, and usually uses baking powder as starter. It is a common snack in English afternoon tea. Usually when eating, it will be cut and coated with cream or strawberry jam.

Scones are very similar to American biscuits, which Americans call "cookies". Scones are more sticky than American biscuits and usually include sweet raisins, seedless raisins, cheese or dates. In some places, milk is added to scones, and even milk is directly used instead of water. Or spread a thin layer of egg liquid on the scones before baking. American practice may also include some fruits, such as cranberries or nuts, and scones with chocolate kernels are also very popular in the United States. Scones are also the basic ingredients of cream snacks.

The scones baked on the shelf are one of them. In some countries, scones are even wrapped or covered with cheese, onions or bacon.

In Scottish, the grill is understood as a girl with a flat bottom, so the scones baked on the shelf are called corset scones.

In Scotland and Ulster, scones as snacks include soda scones (or soda oatmeal scones) and potato scones. Potato scones are like small thin pancakes made of potato flour. In Scotland, potato scones are usually fried, just like English breakfast.
