Burnt or cooked?

[faithspikebuffy]

My colleague says my crumpets are burned and fit for the bin
I say perfectly double toasted, she reckons they should be pale still and floppy

Seems to be a 50/50 split here, so I'm asking you lot!

Just popping in with a plea for everyone to stop saying ‘flaccid’. 😅

Add butter an inch thick on those and that's my DH's perfect snack. I like mine a little less done, not so much butter and a smidge of honey.

Your crumpets are burnt, but I like my bacon crisp enough to snap.

Crumpets MUST be crunchy in our household. Not completely burnt but brown enough for a satisfying cronch when you bite into them.

Really want a crumpet now but I only have pancakes.

She sounds dodgy to me. Is she one of those people who just likes a teabag waved in the general direction of the mug?

Whereas I think you and I could be friends.

Somewhat ironically she is Scottish....
I did try saying don't you eat well fired rolls and I got a withering look

Perfect crunchy crumpet. Just needs lashings of butter

Perfect.

Slightly over, but not much. Hope you got the salty butter on while they were steaming. I too like bacon well done! Maybe not snapping but chewy, with the fat completely crispy. I very rarely eat it though, it's one of those foods where I get a hankering once in a while, eat some, then one bite is off and it's game over, no bacon for 5 years.

On the turn. A few seconds more would be burnt.

Oh yes, salted butter on. Apparently I also used too much butter which I didn't think was possible on crumpets, surely their entire point is as a vehicle for butter....

There is no such thing as too much butter.

DH is very fond of asking if I would like a crumpet with "all that butter" 🙄

Unfortunately I can never answer him due to the fact I have half a crumpet in my mouth.

They're perfect. Nothing sadder than an anaemic crumpet.
