[Food] The perfect crumpet

[Green Cross Code Man]

I had a pack of sourdough crumpets from Aldi recently, absolutely the best.

I'll have to try them. I love me crumpets.

Haha, nope, here's some I made earlier.

Underproved, I think

Under

Underproved, I think

Which would fit with the temperature being too low I guess.

I grill the bottom first, then the top so the butter melts into the crevices and sinkholes, prior to application of marmite or jam.

This is like a Partridge phone in topic.

Sensational.

You can make crumpets from scratch? Well, seeing as I don’t live on an 18th century farmstead, I recommend;

Buy a pack of crumpets. Toaster. Then absolutely pissing in butter.

That’s all.

This morning I have been trying to find the way to achieve the perfect crumpet. The problem I have is that I believe my hob, which is induction, is not really suited for this aim. It appears that I need a decent enough heat to get the rise from the trapped air, but I am thwarted as inevitably I seem to end up with bottoms that are too hot and they burn. If I reduce the heat then I swap burnt bottoms for inconsistently cooked insides which are underdone.

Anyone any ideas?

Any ideas…?

Yes, pop out to your nearest supermarket and buy a six pack of crumpets for around £1.

Well that idea has already been suggested several times on this thread!
