Attempted these last night, tasty but a very disappointing lack of holes

Think the problem was the fermenting stage, as nowhere in my flat is warm enough to get the yeast going! I will have to time the next attempt to coincide with the heating being on. Oh well, gives me an excuse to eat more crumpets I suppose!

Foodycat – Excellent! Let me know how you get on.

Ambulance – Sorry I just found your comment in spam so bit of a delay in publishing it. Glad to hear you need no conversion to the sinful ways of the crumpet.

Chris – Crumpet y crumpet y crumpet y goodness. One of the finest vehicles for butter every invented. They look great and I’m inspired to eat a buttery crumpet topped with lashings of golden syrup. So messy and so good.

This is very exciting for me. I made crumpets last month (or should I say, attempted crumpets and achieved discus) and now I feel able to have another crack at it.

You know… I’ve never had crumpets before, maybe it is time to remedy that.

Jenn – ha ha! Maybe I will frame it myself, just so I don’t forget.

Ginandcrumpets – Amazing colour, isn’t it? It came in a mayo jar as well so I had to e-mail to find out the flavour!

LexEat – Thank you!

The Ginger Gourmand – ha ha, thanks! You should give em a go.

Johanna – well yeah that’s the thing, I never had a problem with cakes and stuff but I guess the bicarb is so important to the crumpet what with making those holes and all.

those crumpets look amazingly good – makes me think it is time to replace my old bicarb – but honestly it still cleans up quite well with a bit of vinegar though I am amazed any of my baking rises

Well done! A remarkable achievement (of which I am fairly envious…)!
