A crumpet is a cake made from flour and yeast. It is eaten mainly in the United Kingdom, but also in the nations of the Commonwealth.
The crumpet is circular in shape (usually; long and square varieties also exist) and has a distinctive flat top covered in small pores. It has a resilient, slightly spongy texture and a rather bland flavour which, when eaten hot with a topping (usually butter), together make crumpets crisp on the outside and very succulent on the inside. They differ from the English Muffin, which is cooked on both sides, in that the dough is usually more moist to start with, so that a muffin ring may be required to hold the batter’s shape.
Crumpets are served hot, usually with butter. Other popular accompaniments include jam, Marmite, marmalade, honey, Peanut butter, cheese, Golden syrup or Vegemite (Australia). Typically, several crumpets are bought together and toasted.

Theres something rather comforting about a crumpet.
Oh, my parents refuse to call them anything other than pikelets.
I think it’s a regional thing. We call the Crumpets up north.

I think it was what they were sold as ‘back in the day’.
You have crumpets in American, Emily? I for some reason thought they were a UK thing.
American, even.

I ate them when I was in England last.
And we have them over here and call them “English Muffins”, but they’re different, really.
What I know to be pikelets are those flat wimpy things… crumpets malnourished little brother, if you will.
This looks so delicious, even if I have no idea about what it is.

I love crumpets! Fresh from the toaster, tons of PB so it melts all over and is a big mess… SO GOOD !!
Peanut butter on Crumpets? Can tell you’re not English!

Just tons off butter, or on the rare occasions melt some cheese on top.
No no no, that’s all wrong…
