Hands down one of the best snacks ever invented. God bless British cooking for this one. These crumpets are soft, bubbly, and perfect for any topping. The batter gets bubbly after resting, and cooking them in molds gives them their signature shape. Serve warm with salted butter, peanut butter, jam, or any topping of choice. For an extra crisp texture, freeze them and toast before serving.

Can I use a different type of flour?
AP flour works best for this recipe, but you can experiment with bread flour for a slightly chewier texture.
Do I need special molds for crumpets?
Shaped molds help achieve the classic crumpet shape, but you can cook them without molds for a more rustic look.
How do I know when the crumpets are ready to flip?
The top should start to dry, and bubbles should pop before flipping.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can refrigerate the batter overnight and cook the crumpets the next day.
What toppings go well with crumpets?
Salted butter, peanut butter, jam, honey, or cream cheese are all great options.
