Oh boy, do I suddenly feel stupid. Yes, in fact I have one of these
sitting in its plastic bag in the kitchen. I often have "English
Muffins" for breakfast. If I have the time, I like to split them,
smear on a lot of butter (more likely margerine) and grill them.
I guess for some reason I was locked into thinking about the cake-like
ones.
