I had only had store bought crumpets before, but those were way much drier than these scrumptious crumpets. Thanks for sharing! I'm very happy with this recipe. I read it at 9 PM and I started making them right away. I will post this recipe on the hippoandfriends website in the kids section, for children with diabetes. Thank you very much :-)

I don't give reviews on recipes I have re-written, so I give this recipe 5 stars based on following the recipe as written. I used a freshly laid egg from one of my chickens, and my Grandmother's iron skillet, and am enjoying them hot off the griddle with real butter and honey, and a cup of Harney & Sons Earl Grey Winter White Tea.......looooovely.

There are not very many recipes for crumpets out there, but this one was GREAT! I didn't really know what to expect, but I loved them...so light and scrumptious. I will serve them with a sprinkling of confectioners sugar next time, I think. Or some honey or jam. As my husband put it--it's a cross between a really fluffy biscuit and a pancake. Having never had crumpets before, I don't know if this is what they're supposed to be like, but I did like them. I will definitely double the recipe, though. This one doesn't make enough, especially if your dough deflates a bit when transferring to the pan.

I neeed to practise these, I think. They are a bit heavier than shop bought, but they taste really fresh and are quick to make for a yeast rise. I used rings of kitchen foil, which were a bit flimsy.

These were so easy and so much fun to make!! I was hoping to save some to toast later but my husband and children had different plans. Thanks for the recipe.

These were wonderful made with the ingredients just as listed! I did add frozen blueberries prior to cooking and they turned out great!

Ok... But missing something. Also took longer than 7 minutes to cook at the right heat without burning the bottoms.

These were delicious! Light, tender, just the right density. I did adjust the recipe... adjustments as follows: I doubled the recipe, and used approximately 3 tsp of yeast total. Then I added a little bit of honey and some cinnamon and nutmeg. I allowed the batter to proof for an hour, then stirred it and allowed it a second proof. I used a cast-iron skillet on very low gas stovetop heat (slowed the cooking time, but made for fluffier crumpets). I would say it took 10-15 minutes on the first side and 6 or 7 minutes on the flipside. I also had 3 1/2 inch diameter crumpet molds and used 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter in each. This resulted in a yield of 9 crumpets. The tricky part was not deflating the batter in moving it from bowl to skillet...but with a slower cooking time, it wasn't a big deal.

These were terrible. Too bread-like and doughy. Not the light, fluffy crumpet I was craving. They were more like a yeasty pancake than a crumpet. I won't even waste my time trying again. Which saddens me.

I'm rating this a 4 star because I don't want to discourage someone from trying it for themselves. I made these and they were not at all like the crumpets I remember my Grandpa making. His were so delish, and these were, well these were really awful. I'm rating them a 3 because it could be because my yeast was bad. WHO knows! It could have been user error, not the recipe.

I printed out this recipe last night & so far my husband has made me make 3 whole batches!!! I did use bread flour instead of all-purp & used 1 1/2 cups of it, as an epicurean website suggested... FAB!!! Fun, too! Messy & gloopy, I think I'll use 1 1/4 cups instead. Now, I'm looking at peach cans & cookie cutters with CRUMPETS in mind! (I used circular cookie cutters, mason jar rings, and pancake pattern shapes. The kids fight over who gets the heart shaped one! *Oh, split these, too. Cut them with a bread knife & toast them, top w/ oodles & oodles of butter & jam!!! Tea-time in Minnesota will never be the same for this family!!! Thank you for the recipe, dear lady.
