How hard are they to get right! I can see the attraction of shop-bought ones now.
Still, never to be defeated, just the baking task for a rainy day.
Crumpets
Re: CrumpetsNever made them, thought about it but afraid I buy shop bought, toasted really well under the grill with butter just melting into them. SCRUMMY.

Re: CrumpetsMine always end up being rather flat, and after trying to make one or 2 thicker ones end up being defeated and making pikelet type affairs.
I think I need metal crumpet rings and a proper bakestone (I wish I knew what happened to my mums!) rather than the frying pan and silicon rings I've been trying. I will add I've only tried once or twice.
Re: CrumpetsI love crumpets. They remind me of Sunday afternoons when I was a child - mum would always make us crumpets with cheesy scrambled egg for tea
![]() I've never tried making them myself as I'm pretty convinced my skills will not stretch that far ![]() Does anyone else get hiccups when eating crumpets? My daughter and I always get hiccups when we eat them (which is fairly often) - I've always assumed it was something to do with the wholes in them, trapping air which we then swallow... Lucy x
