I made crumpets on Sunday. Oh, yes. And I don't mean "I toasted crumpets", no. None of your Sunblest for me! It's not hard - contrary to what you may have heard - it's just time consuming. But very very worth it when you see this start to form in your frying pan -
And then you flip it to seal those lovely bubbles and what should come out but this..
Fluffy! And delicious.

Not really. Not to cook. Think pancakes, only a bit slower than that. Takes ages to make, though, becuase you have to keep leaving the yeast to froth.
hi. what is a crumpet? it looked like an american pancake? educate me please. lost in south dakota.
Um, blimey, it's hard to explain now you ask. They're not pancakes, they're a savoury.. um, they are a sort of bread/batter hybrid. Here's a recipe: http://www.searchforgoodhealth.com.au/crumpet.htm - pretty close to what I used. They rise pretty high and go beautifully with butter and Marmite. Don't, please, ask me what Marmite is, because if you don't know you don't want to..
All you need to know is that Marmite is Evil.
And that Sarah is deluded. Marmite is the food of the gods. When they talk about ambrosia, they mean Marmite.
