What do you like on your crumpets?

Time of day affects toppings for me- in the morning if I were to have a crumpet, it's strictly toasted with butter. Mid afternoon, I'd go for butter, thin layer of marmite and a slice of cheddar. Evening crumpet- crumbled blue cheese and a drizzle of honey.

It sounds like I eat crumpets three times a day, but actually I remember to buy a pack once in a blue moon and remember how good they are Grin

In the morning - lots of butter and a freshly poached egg on each.

Afternoon - lots of butter and tiny smear of honey

Late evening, sundried tomato pesto mixed with a little olive oil to make it runnier, topped with cheese & grilled.

Not usually on the same day

Butter. Lots.

Good quality lemon curd sometimes

As much butter as I can fit on it, that's all.

I like mine with a kiss 🎶

Butter and marmite!

spikeandbuffy24 · 08/09/2024 13:56

Jam, marmite, peanut butter or seriously strong cheese spread. Butter first with all of them and double toasted

I've not considered a sweet crumpet- will try one with Jam. Also putting them in the air fryer to melt the cheese, I need to try that with the chilli jam that was recommended

So interesting. I think of them as inherently a sweet flavour vehicle, and feel excitingly daring when doing the marmite and cheese variation!

Most often: just butter (and a sprinkle of maldon crunchy salt)

Also excellent: marmite and cream cheese.

How has no one mentioned lemon curd!! 😋😋😋😋

I like lemon curd on fried Staffordshire oatcakes.

Butter and marmite

teatoast8 · 08/09/2024 16:21

Butter or marmite or both

WheresMySupportCat · 08/09/2024 16:22

Oh my I love crumpets.

But since becoming GF I have not yet found a decent GF crumpet.

Morning for breakfast- just plain butter and a bit of salt.

If in the afternoon I like butter and blackberry jam and a cup of mint tea.

NavyTiger · 08/09/2024 16:29

Philidelphia and Marmite

Doggymummar · 08/09/2024 16:32

Marmite spread like its Nutella, peanut butter and jam, butter, honey, Philadelphia, fig spread, yuzu, lemon curd

Cherrysoup · 08/09/2024 16:34

Butter, cheddar. They’re strictly savoury for me.

AhBiscuits · 08/09/2024 16:41

Yeah only savoury for me too.

The best butter.
Alas I hate looking at the little holes, even though I love eating them. So don't indulge very often.

Ilovemyshed · 08/09/2024 18:05

Butter.

Butter.

Butter.

That is all.

If you want THE best ever, make the Hairy Bikers crumpet recipe from scratch and use some high end jersey butter with seasalt.

Aussiegold · 08/09/2024 18:15

Having always been a butter on a well toasted crumpet sort of person, I got this months Good Housekeeping and lo........GIANT CRUMPETS are a thing and also did their recipe which had Welsh rarebit on them and they was divine.

I have no idea how much butter you would need for a giant crumpet, but I'm guessing as an amount not recommended by doctors.

FussyPud · 08/09/2024 18:16

Good butter or cheese and mustard.

Oldraver · 08/09/2024 18:18

Butter or occasionally cheese, especially if I have some good stuff

CointreauVersial · 08/09/2024 18:25

Heaps of butter, goes without saying. Topped with Bovril.

I reckon I'm the only Bovril addict in Britain, but let me tell you it's elite on a crumpet, and much nicer than Marmite. Umami and gorgeous....mmm..

mrspk · 08/09/2024 18:25

Haven't had this for ages, but strawberry jam topped with mashed banana is delicious

lemonyellows · 08/09/2024 18:26

Philadelphia or cheddar under the grill

Eviebeans · 08/09/2024 18:33

Cheese spread
