  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)!!!

  Try a layer of Philly cream cheese topped with a teaspoon or so of orange marm... Take two, they're small :-)

  Have used this recipe many times and always ended-up with great "holey" crumpets. Sometimes the dough may be a bit thick, so I help the bubbles along by popping them with a tooth pick :-) Crumpets are relatively low in fat and a great scrummy alternative to breakfast muffins. Does anyone have any experience with freezing these? They can be quite time-consuming to make (even in my biggest pan I can only make 4 at a time) so freezing a batch for popping into the toaster later would be great. I may give that a try this weekend.

  Hi there, ZeTallGerman, as a singleton I'm forever cooking up big batches of things and freezing them and can assure you that crumpets freeze quite well. Try not to have them sticking together when you first pop them in the freezer, spread out inside a ziploc bag is good. Then when they've frozen, bundle them more compactly. A word of warning, like any bread, crumpets can get overly chewy if you try to thaw them using the microwave. If you feel like experimenting to get just the right timing and power to thaw them without compromising texture, go ahead. I prefer to leave them out for a while before toasting, depends on the ambient temp how long, so that they're at least partially thawed before toasting.

  You could also try toasting them from frozen. Most of the modern toasters have a 'frozen' button, and it seems to work very well :-)

  Maybe I'm doing something wrong but my crumpets look more like muffins. The batter is a bit too heavy... maybe I should let them stand a little bit more.
