What do you like on your crumpets?

[quirkyquerty]

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

My oldest son is a crumpet fanatic. He loves plenty of butter, marmite and cheese. If doing crumpets for my youngest son, he will only eat with jam on. I will inhale any crumpet with any topping!

Wasn't there a crumpet lasagne that went viral last year? I've seen crumpet tear and share garlic bread too.

Well toasted and golden syrup

If someone else makes me a well toasted crumpet with butter, I feel loved. Yes, I can do it myself, but even the most kitchen- phobic of spouses can put one in the toaster for you when you need a bit of coddling.

It's never appeared in that book of Love Languages though, which is clearly a massive error.

Proper salted butter is really all you need.

However, I did have mini crumpets with crab meat in a tiny bit of mayo and black pepper in a gastro pub, and have recreated it at home with tinned white crab, it's glorious. With butter underneath, obviously.....
