muffin

The Chinese word '松饼' refers to a type of baked good that is similar to what is known in English as a muffin. It is often sweet and served as a breakfast item or a snack. In Chinese cuisine, it can also refer to a specific style of steamed cake, but in the context of Western-style baking, it typically represents the familiar fluffy and tender muffin enjoyed across various cultures.
