Good morning crumpets: Breakfast, snack or tea-time goodness

When it comes to breakfast and tea time, it’s all about the little things. We can feast and snack on some of our favourite foods, combined in exciting ways. When you think about crumpets, you imagine golden dough discs with some butter and a hot cup of tea. However, there’s more to our good morning crumpets recipe that meets the eye. Crumpets are mostly made from flour and dairy, but the toppings make a difference.

Good morning crumpets suggestions

The batter should be relatively thin and you can make it the night before and let it rest in the fridge. You can always add a tiny bit of milk to help thin out the batter. Not only does this help to thin them out, but easy to use. Traditional toppings include butter and whipped cream. However, you can add your favourite strawberry or apricot jam to each. With a bit of cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce, you have a different kind of incredible goodness.
