Originating in England, they are like a cross between English muffins and pancakes. Their special feature is that the surface has many holes that allow the butter to seep from top to bottom. The surface has a unique almost "sponge" texture, but the inside is very soft, like bread!

What's in Crumpets
Here's what you need to make Crumpets. I always knew there was yeast in the dough. Adding baking powder is the key to making all the difference - from unsuccessful crumbs to successful muffins!
Crumpets recipe ingredients
Yeast - use quick/quick yeast or active dry yeast (sometimes just labeled "yeast"). Both work very well.
Fresh yeast? I haven't tried it with fresh yeast, but for some reason it wouldn't work using the standard 7.75g/0.275oz conversion of fresh yeast to 1 teaspoon of dry yeast. Rinse in warm water with sugar and follow the instructions above for the dry yeast to work.
Flour - regular/all-purpose flour only. No self-rising flour, no whole wheat flour.
Gluten-free - unfortunately does not work with gluten-free flours. We tried, and it failed miserably!

The word "crumpet" is thought to derive from the Welsh crempog, a type of pancake or doughnut, and they likely date back to the 18th century. Like a pancake, a crumpet is made with a single layer. The dough is thin, but that's where the similarity ends: it varies greatly in texture and body. The characteristic perforated texture is created in a variety of ways by adding yeast or chemical leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda, or - in some cases - all of the above. The recipe here uses both yeast and baking soda. Yeast does most of the work and is added at the first stage, turning the almost watery dough into a bubbly mass. The addition of baking soda, which is added after the dough has risen, speeds up the formation of holes when heat is applied to the dough and has the added benefit of lightening the texture of the finished sponge cake.

Traditional Homemade Biscuit Original British Toast Recipe
When I moved to England, where I lived for 7 years, there were some quintessential British dishes that I couldn't. waiting to try. Crumpets is one of them. As soon as we settled into our hotel room, we went shopping at the local Tesco and I picked up a package for the next morning. We put them in the toaster, covered them with butter and jam, and ate our first piece of British tourist cake.
Verdict: Butter and jam are good.
So porous in texture and bland in taste, I wonder why, of all things, marzipan has such a prominent place on the British table.
I quickly write crumpets as "try them once and once is enough". That is, until I ate homemade cookies at a friend's house. My opinion of the famous crumpet has changed 180 degrees!
