The thing is, we're 7- just us, and with the extended family who was camping with us we numbered around 20. I was darned if I was going to go without crumpets if someone else wanted one!<BR/><BR/>Funny enough, not one single crumpet went to waste...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the new recipe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-28310180495756740552008-05-20T09:30:00.000-07:002008-05-20T09:30:00.000-07:00It has been eons since I've had crumpets!

Never with jam, butter is king. <BR/>If you want to try something different, have a go at this: toast the crumpet, then sprinkle some cheese on the top, chuck it back under the grill until it's all melted and the cheese is oozing through those little holes. Eat as is, or throw on some smoked ham... yum yum yum!Laura Patersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588036645858886259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-34762210866757413252008-05-06T15:57:00.000-07:002008-05-06T15:57:00.000-07:00I have always wanted to say "would someone please ...I have always wanted to say "would someone please pass the crumpets?" lol, but we have never had them!
