Warburtons thin Crumpets? Meaning to try them any good?
Yes, I had been having their giant crumpets previously, but they were out of stock one time and I tried these instead.Crumpets done in an air fryer, 180c for 2 mins load with butter and then 3 minutes at 200c, come out lovely and crispy.

I prefer them with just butter and maybe honey but they don't keep for long so sometimes to use them up............
I’ve just caught up on the last couple of months of postings. It’s pleasing to me that in this uncertain world, there are still certain constants to keep me grounded (I remain offended by avocado in all its forms and I’m one of those “can’t have beans touching eggs” freaks (although I prefer a sausage pontoon to a ramekin every day of the week)).
Anyway, a three week training course meant early starts to avoid traffic (and, ideally, people). Institutional breakfasts were the order of the day. This was about a fiver, all in.
Worth it for the ambiance alone…
I’m still sans cuisine due to water main issues… at least the floor and window/door are finally in.
The kitchen itself has at least been delivered. At 7am. On a Sunday. It doesn’t look like 152 items and £7,5k!
Luckily I’ve recently discovered one of my two greasy spoons of choice is open 7 days a week, from 7.15 on a Sunday, so I took my mate who’d helped me unload (the kitchen, for clarity) for a slap up treat. £7, all in (mug of tea, other fried slice and three toast all out of shot). Clearly the components are of questionable provenance and welfare.
Rounding off with the other greasy spoon, from this morning. £6.95 all in. Again, this pints to a complete lack of organic/artisanal/free range/small batch. Deal with it.

Is a crumpet different to a pikelet?
Google says yes. Crumpet - yeast, cooked in a ring, pikeket - no yeast, cooked without support. “If differentiated from the crumpet, a pikelet is defined as containing no yeast as a raising agent; as using a thinner batter than a crumpet; and as being cooked without a ring, giving a flatter result than a crumpet.”

As a kid Crumpets and Pikelets were the same and Muffins a different animal with no holes in them.
