Crumpets

Crumpets

I love crumpets, the texuture is fantastic and the taste even better. They are delicious just with butter and even more topped with cheese melted under the grill for a few minutes.

    These crumpets sound delicious on their own but would also be worth having like this - spread butter on the top, then marmite, then top with cheese and then brown under the grill until the cheese has melted. Don't forget the tissue when your eating them to catch all the drools! Lovely!

    I love this recipe. Mine never get the holes in the top though? I'm not too concerned though, I've made them several times now and our family love them as a special breakfast treat with butter, honey or golden syrup.

    Needed much more liquid than the recipe said to give a 'batter', and the results didn't look like crumpet. That said, they did taste quite authentic. But takes ages to cook, as I could only do 3 at a time (at 10-12 mins a go). Much easier to buy them if you can locally (I can't)!!!
