Panecitos/Panecillos Dulces/Molletes Dulces Explanation: Hola de nuevo Marta! A continuacición, está la traducción de "muffin", según el Oxford Superlex.: "muffin / "mVf@n / n a (AmE) mollete m (bollo dulce hecho con huevos) b (BrE) bollo de pan que suele servirse tostado". Sin embargo, me gusta más la idea de: "Panecillos Dulces" ya que en los EU, los hacen muy ricos y algunos rellenos de pasas o arándanos. Espero te sirva:-) terry Oxford Superlex +experiencia |

magdalenas Explanation: Here in Spain "magdalenas" are muffins... although in some of the fancier shops (and at Dunkin' Donuts!) they're actually called "muffins" (muffins de chocolate, for example). Just another option. own knowledge |

Pastelitos / Pasteles Explanation: Hi Marta! Spanish children love to refer to their favourite muffins with the general term "pastelitos" or "pasteles". It could very well be Magdalena as Cindy said, though since I am not sure about it's a real Magdalena (it's a very Spanish thing, it could be a bit different in Anglosaxon ambients...) I prefer "pastelitos" which is what children actually LOVE to say :) Lots of best wishes! Flavio (a child lots of years ago) Translation Student in Spain Personal Experience :) |
