If you’ve never had a homemade crumpet, it’s time! Here’s how to make the griddled bread that is delicious with butter and jam.
We’re off on a family trip to london and paris next week. our travel packet came yesterday, and to celebrate homemade crumpets were a must. 
i forgot how much i love crumpets. when ian and i moved to california, our first apartment together was on 5th avenue in san rafael. right down the street was a brand new cafe, tea and crumpets. the crumpets were made right in the window and served hot all day long. they were amazing, and ian and i went practically every weekend.
the shop closed. we moved. after several less than delicious store bought versions, i tried making crumpets myself. don’t let the yeast scare you off. traditional homemade crumpets are as easy as pancakes to make.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of yeast should I use for the crumpets?
Active dry yeast is recommended for this recipe, as it helps achieve the right rise and texture.
How long should I let the batter rest before cooking the crumpets?
Allow the batter to rest for about 30 minutes to an hour; this helps develop the texture and flavor.
Can I use a non-stick pan instead of a griddle for cooking crumpets?
Yes, a non-stick pan works well, but make sure to use crumpet rings to maintain the shape while cooking.
