Crumpets - how do you take yours ?

[TheTecknician]

I don't normally buy crumpets but this morning I saw some sourdough ones in the reduced section in Morrison's so I thought it would be rude not to, especially as I bought a fresh block of Lurpak yesterday. I have been known to top them with blue Stilton and potted beef but I generally just use butter. Not too much, mind, as it gets everywhere!

They must be adequately toasted too. Underdone or nuked crumpets are just no good.

Toasted until practically crispy and then loads of really salty butter 😍
Sometimes I put cheese and Worcestershire sauce on and stick under the grill.

Exactly!!!

Butter and maple syrup.

Please try it, you'll thank me

Well toasted and hot, with butter

I want some now. Might have to make some...

Well-toasted with just butter is the best but I also like Nutella or thinly sliced Cambozola.
Definitely going to try the sugary cinnamon one too.

Either saint agur blue cheese spread (it’s amazing) or, chilli jam with Brie. Always with butter too of course.

Quite well done with plenty of salted butter. This is the ideal accompaniment to a glass of mulled wine

Crumpet, butter, marmite, egg and grated cheese

Lightly buttered with marmite.

Burnt

Oh I was expecting actual crumpet recipes.........

Butter, butter and honey or butter and jam!

Really well done with lots of butter. I also like them with cheese and mushrooms, jam or Nutella.

Now I want crumpets. 😂

Well Done with Butter! If I'm feeling fancy maybe a bit of Jam.. DH has Butter and Marmite 🤢

In the toaster, then a spread of Lurpak followed by marmite, then a slice of cheddar on top.

Only ever butter and honey!

Might try jam and cheese though, sounds interesting.

Toasted, butter, cheese melted on top.

Toasted so they're not too crispy but not too chewy either. With so much salted butter it drips out the bottom and runs down your chin in every bite.

Very well toasted with butter or butter and marmite or soft cheese. NEVER sweet toppings.

Toasted with butter and marmite. Sometimes melted cheese before adding marmite. Never sweet.

Have almost cone to blows with DH who insists crumpets are sweet, with jam. No. Just no. Revolting.

Warburtons crumpets only, cooked under grill, not in toaster til almost burnt on the bottoms, then slightly less crispy but still fairly well done on the tops. Add a slice of cold salted butter from a block and leave to melt, then a teaspoon of strawberry jam on each, crumpet perfection!

Same and then a good dollop of salted butter - so good!

I also score them with a knife so the butter goes right through 😃

When I was a nipper, we used to toast them in front of the fire then have them with butter and sugar sprinkled on the top. The taste of childhood in winter.

Now I like them with crunchy peanut butter and sliced banana, just jam or Marmite. A fried egg on top is good too.

Loads of butter and some marmite

Or I will enjoy anything at all on them if someone's going to do it for me!

I don't take crumpets but when I did...
Double toasted, no topping - excellent
Toasted with plenty of butter and golden syrup - heavenly
Toasted with plenty of butter and a little honey - also divine.
