This made me unexpectedly really sad! My grandma always said she won’t buy crumpets from the shops because they don’t taste right but nobody she knew had a recipe for them (a problem we literally cannot experience these days…). But she’d said on many occasions she still remembered what “real crumpets” tasted like from the bakery and wished she was smart enough to make and share them with us so we knew… she passed away years ago now but I stupidly got the idea, “I wonder if these crumpets are what grandma still remembers, I should make them for her.”, for a split second before remembering she’s gone. Sorry grandma would have loved to share some with you but I’ll still have to try it now :(

You are amazing, John! I was a flight attendant for 38 years and often flew to England. One things I’ve always missed since retirement 5 years ago was British crumpets. My husband loves KZbin and saw yours last night, asking me if I’d ever had crumpets. I said, “Yes and they’re wonderful”! I just tried your recipe and they are perfect! I made mine with Better Batter 1:1 gluten free flour since I’m intolerant. I added 3 extra Tbsp of water to my batter and proofed in the oven with the light on. They’re even better than I’d hoped!!! I can’t wait to make them next month with my 88 yr old mother who loves crumpets, too. I also love your warm cuddly Pooh voice. Who wouldn’t?

You mean English crumpets from England; or were your British crumpets from Wales or Scotland? Scotch whisky is from Britain and is British whisky, but it's made in Northern Britain, which is Scotland, so we call it Scotch whisky (note the spelling). I'm an Englishwoman from England, whereas a British woman who could also be Welshwoman or a Scotswoman. There are three countries in Britain, and four in the United Kingdom. England is not a sovereign country: it doesn't have its own government, nor its own King, but the UK does. The word united gives a clue to there being more than one country in the kingdom. Anything from England is precisely English, including me and my language. Simple.

@@Sushilover01 I do from time to time, but (mainly due to nostalgia I imagine) I usually buy the ready/tinned stuff. The two main Polish brands are Profi and Podlaski, both about same quality wise. They’re nothing special, and admittedly, they do look like wet cat food in the tin, however the flavour is very pleasant and there’s many types to choose from with anything from garlic to sun dried tomatoes as a “topping”. They’re also handy to have in your pantry as they’re very shelf stable and cheap so I usually just buy a dozen whenever I visit the Polish shop.

I completely lost the love to cook, let alone bake for a few reasons but mainly 1 Head Chef that just took the fun away. However, seeing the sheer kindness and excellent recipe you made, well, it made me want to subscribe and try to get back into cooking something (I never imagined I could think that way again). I had flashbacks long forgotten of growing up in the early 80's cooking Pikelets and Pancakes with my Mum on a Saturday morning that had a similar recipe to this one in many ways was a nice surprise and good motivator, she would be happy. I buy crumpets too, but NOT any more thanks to you John!!! John, if you see this, I saw that you have attempted or have given a heart and a reply to more than 500 comments (I got tired looking further), that alone is something so beautiful in nature I was humbled.

Another cracking recipe John, thank you for sharing. I've asked for your recipe books for my birthday from the Mrs, her response was "if that's the KZbin chap that taught you to make pies, you will get no arguments from me" Wish I'd seen this video last night, I'd have had a dabble for breakfast this morning, but I guess I will have to try it next weekend instead. Hope you are keeping well!

My favourite breakfast choice, absolutely nothing compares to a hot, toasted crumpet drenched in butter! I used empty, tuna cans as crumpet rings before I could find them to buy. You need to remove the bottom of the can with a "wheel" can opener so the edges are smooth, they are perfect. I can't wait to try your recipe! Thank you

[@greeniejeannie]

I made these today. I learned if you break the bubbles forming on top you can actually feel the dough that has cooked underneath them. That gave me courage to lift the ring and then flip with a spatula. So easy to make and a huge hit. Thank you. I would encourage anyone to try this easy recipe.

A dear friend sent me this recipe after I revealed that I'd never tried crumpets, insisting it was the only proper way to have them. I tried it this evening for the very first time, with butter and jam, and it's unlike any bread or pastry I've ever tasted. The textures are fascinating and so comforting, especially paired with a hot tea. This batch is already gone, but I will definitely be making more soon to stock my freezer. Thank you!!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave them a try my friend and they turned out well.

[@profiler4772]

During my childhood, I spent some scarce holidays in the north-eastern part of the UK, and I often heard the word "crumpet" being used in a pretty different context and meaning. I never understood that the name actually applied to this mouth-watering delicacy. I now also understand why they used the same name for the other "activity", more over I now understand why my mother doubled with laughter. One is never too old to learn. For certain I will make these for my grandchildren. When they are old enough, and I live long enough, I might explain the other meaning. Some things should never get lost.

I grew up with “crumpet pizza” for weekend lunch. Layer on your toasted crumpet: sautéed onion rings, sliced tomato, tin sardines in tomato sauce, top with strong cheddar. Heat in oven approx 25 min. Make them for my family and we love them on a rainy day 😊

wow that sounds fabulous. i m happy to stick to just butter plus the occasional dollop of a decent jam or marmite (sparingly)

Wow John. another winner! Made these last night: Made the first two too thick and burned them, made the next two thinner and less scorched and finally nailed the correct temperature (I really have to get one of those thermometers) and the last four were perfect. So this morning I popped them in the toaster and served them up with a fried egg and smoked salmon on top! Not had a proper crumpet since I was in the UK 10 years ago. This recipe is right up there with your fabulous suet pudding steak and kidney which is the best I have ever tasted. Thank you!

[@goodbill55]

John, I had a crack at making these crumpets,and all I can say is; the texture and look of these crumpets are similar to store bought crumpets. unfortunately, I made one minor mistake, which changed the flavour. This happened because was I forgot about the proving time and left the product for 3 hours. The only change flavour was the fermented taste. this wasn't overpowering at all. A good dollop of butter fixed that😂

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Nice job, Bill. Yes, by going past the proofing time, will result in a denser crumpet. You gotta catch the batter at its bubbliest, which is around 1 to 1 and a half hours. But they'll get better with practice. Thanks for watching my friend ❤️ much appreciated.
