Homemade English Crumpets

Homemade English Crumpets ~ Simple Food


There’s something about hot buttered crumpets that takes me back to Sunday tea when I was a child, although these days I do prefer them at breakfast time.

There is nothing wrong with shop bought crumpets.

Until of course you try these, then there is no going back.

Easy as that!!

You can butter and eat them straight away or allow them to cool then toast them as normal crumpets.
