Crumpets and Nutella

[GreenSlide]

I fancy crumpets with Nutella tomorrow, but I can't decide if I should butter them or not. Crumpets without butter feels against nature somehow but butter AND Nutella seems ridiculously indulgent. So WIBU to butter my crumpets before adding Nutella?

Lashings of butter with sea salt, topped with Nutella is crumpet nirvana.

Another good crumpet thing is eggy crumpet, immerse your crumpet completely in beaten egg, then fry gently in butter till golden both sides, serve with a dusting of icing sugar and a spoon of cream or yoghurt.

Butter - moistens the holes and helps whatever you have on top get distributed more evenly,

About the only time I don't use butter is if I'm having melted cheese.
But YABU - you think you want crumpets tomorrow? after reading this thread I NEED crumpets NOW

One of my children Calls Nutella 'chocolate butter' so I offer butter, peanut butter or chocolate butter now. Or because I don't butter as well with peanut butter or Nutella, whereas with other things like jam or marmite I do

Eggy crumpets sound good
Never heard of frying crumpets, does anyone else do that?
I did discover quite recently that if the crumpet is a bit hard and not I've just opened the packet, they work better microwaved than heated in the toaster.
How does everyone else cook them?

The best crumpet combo is with Bolognese sauce over the top. Amazing!

This thread! 😂

butter, teeniest smear of marmite, peanut butter.
sometimes with cheese on top of that.

Or like a scone, with clotted cream and jam
(jam on top, obvs)

I like laughing cow triangles on crumpet for lunch. Otherwise, they are best with butter and honey or raspberry jam.

No Nutella, butter and marmite

I didn't realise people didn't use butter with nutella. Is it only nutella they don't put butter with or other spreads too. I always have butter melting into the crumpet before putting anything else on. That's what the holes are for

No butter, just get a couple of tablespoons of palm oil, a couple of sugar and a sachet of nut flavoured fake hot chocolate and mix it together, lob it on to crumpets. Job done.

No butter .

Crumpets with Nutella are the best thing ever! No butter required, just put extra Nutella on of it’s too dry 😂

No butter required. However, what is even better is crumpets, Nutella and crunchy peanut butter (in that order) So yummy! Works well on seeded bread too.

Forget Nutella, there was a lot of debate on how to pronounce AIBU.

Most people pronounce it Eye-Bu, but I felt vindicated when MN released the AIBU podcast and the hosts both pronounced it EH-BU.

You're all bastards I want crumpets now with butter and golden syrup followed by crumpets with Biscoff

I want crumpets with Biscoff now, too. Is it an essential purchase? Would I be breaching Covid restrictions by going and buying some?

I can also recommend crumpets with butter and Seriously Strong cheese spread. Or Taleggio, if you have some handy. Crunchy peanut butter is good on crumpets, too, as is any jam or marmalade.

The only things that don't really work on crumpets imo are lemon curd, tapenade and chocolate spread (separately - together they would be unspeakably vile!) and I'm now wondering if pate on a crumpet might be nice...

I think I'm going

Definitely both! Go the whole hog!

Bang goes my diet!

Both. Salted butter and Nutella. Trust me

I had weaned myself off these, am salivating at the thought of them.

I have only had Tesco ones, they seem very processed, but they are just divine.

I like the butter/marmite/peanut butter/melting cheese idea...

I went for butter and Nutella in the end. It was amazing. The Nutella filled all the little holes. Would definitely recommend.

I had warburtons Crumpets for lunch- they arent my fave as they are a little claggy- but that's all our little coop sells. I find the cheaper the crumpet the better. The sour dough ooh lala deluxe ones don't crisp up enough. I like mine singed around the edge.

Topping - always butter. Then one savory- seriously strong cheese spread and one sweet- current fave blood orange curd but usually jam. Husband has no butter but marmite as the savoury

Butter, always butter. It's one of the simplest and yet tastiest things ever

not quite a zombie thread! I finally tried out eggy crumpet - had to come back and say how good it was
