Crumpets

[Puggit]

Just had the first crumpets of winter - properly prepared by toasting and adding butter and Marmite (can it get any better?).

Your suggestions for crumpet toppings please

Buttered crumpets and poached eggs...

with butter and cheese

[grumbledoak]

Just butter, 'shirley'. It's a tradition ( or an old charter, or something! )

Certainly, none of the suggestions so far sound better...

Agreed - enough butter to melt into and fill all the holes. If you must add something a small drizzle of golden syrup works quite well.

Melted Strong Cheddar & Marmite

Melted Strong Cheddar & Bovril

Chocolate spread works well aswell

try Jam in a waffle, tis tasty

but for the good ol' no nonsense, just butter on a crumpet thats just gone past a bit crispy but not burnt or all crispy.

gotta love the crunch

Grate some really strong (ideally vintage) cheddar, grind in plenty of black pepper and toss in a small quantity of dried chilli flakes. Give it a good mix.

Lightly toast the bare crumpets in a toaster, remove, then apply the grated cheese mix on top. Pop under a hot grill for a minute or two.

Melted cheese on crumpets with a real hot kick.

Jesus....

Sounds epic

Problem is we are then getting back to the issue of effort vs reward. 2 is not enough, I would need at least 4, that would probably take 15 mins. Not worth it I fear.

Philadelphia cream cheese or Marmite

i reckon garlic butter would work, or blue cheese butter. not for breakfast though unless you want to stink the office out!

Does anyone have a recipe to make your own crumpets? I've always fancied trying to make them but kind of got the impression that they were just something you bought rather than made.

They are so cheap is it even worth it?

What's your preferred brand? Many can be too rubbery I've found.
The best by far, for me, are made by Warburtons.
