How to make British Crumpets (Griddle Pancakes) BEST OF BRITISH | John Quilter

[@AussieJuz]

Crumpets with melty peanut butter and a cup of tea ... Heaven

[@foodbusker]

Boom! Not wrong Chef✌️

[@juanQuedo]

I come here to claim those crumpets as savory item too, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Really good with soft cheese and smoke salmon for example, or avocado and tomato slices, poached egg on top and some buttery spinach! long live the crumpets

[@dee2251]

They are a savoury item too here in the UK. I like mine with lashings of butter with melted English cheddar on top, but you’re only limited on what you put on top by your own imagination.

[@DeimosPC]

As a Brit that lives in the US.. you’ve saved me a fortune. I used to buy these from special import shops but I didn’t realize they were so easy to make. Just bought the little circular molds and I’m gonna give these a try this weekend

[@AtomicShrimp]

Everything about this video is awesome! Love your videos and it's really super to see how happy these crumpets made you feel

[@foodbusker]

Love the positivity thank you! Increase the peace✌️

[@htaehxela]

Hey I just came from your crumpet video

[@cheesehamm]

I absolutely freaking love crumpets, despite not being British! It's so great to see someone also so enthusiastic and poetic about them! They deserve all the praise 🤩

[@markbrko]

So glad these are a thing in Australia. It’s a staple for breakfast for us Aussies! Thanks lads! 🙏

I have been making crumpets for over 50 years.My parents owned a bakery in Manchester where crumpets and muffins were a huge success.I see so many recipes online that have no place in crumpet making.Simple recipe is milk,water,salt,baking soda and flour.This is a standard recipe.

No yeast?

[@gezeers]

Hi John, thanks for the vlog and how simple they are to make.I live in Thailand, 4:47 and the Warburton crumpets are 6 for around £3.35 to £3.50 As much as I love them I'm not going to spend that much money to buy them but to make my own ones.For all the ingredients and the rings came to less than £4. I reckon I will be able to make around 20 to 24 crumpets from one bag of flour. Thanks again for your input.

[@lastyrsman]

John - don't know if I missed it, but I watched you add a heaping teaspoon of the Baking Powder in but you didn't actually call out the amount, help a brother out! Thanks for the EXCELLENT videos.

[@mariuskaesser]

Fan from germany here and this is the first time I saw a real british crumpet. I must say they look like my face when I was 16 but I bet they taste much better. I really like this series because I actually like food from your islands an am looking forward to more.

oooh, talk about a comfort food!!! I am an American, married to a Brit, got introduced to crumpets in 1978, and I've never looked back. Finding a REAL crumpet in the US borders on impossible. We've tried various recipes to make our own, and never landed one that does it for us. Time to try your's! NEXT: steak and kidney pies, pork pies ... keep the love coming with traditional English foods!!

Great video John,crumpet heaven,keep them coming.

[@ryanwcoleman]

Yeah John, this is cool stuff. I’m commenting from over in CO, USA and Brittish food is not popular out here so it’s refreshing and interesting to see some Brittish classics explained and done by someone like yourself with modern taste and a respectable culinary prowess. Good stuff. Lot’s of respect, love your channel and keep up this Brittish series idea 👍🏼

[@dee2251]

You say British food isn’t popular, yet the humble Apple pie isn’t American. It’s English and the first written recipe for Apple pie in in an ancient English cookbook called ‘The Forme of Curry’ which dates back to the 13th century. We were eating apple pie here long before America even existed, as we know it today. The early English settlers brought the recipe over with them and the apple seeds too, as apples weren’t native to America. What you call biscuits are in fact Scones. What you now call popovers are in fact Yorkshire puddings. They were just renamed. A traditional roast beef dinner with roast potatoes etc is English, stews, casseroles, dumplings (cobblers) lemon curd, cheddar cheese and many, many other recipes were taken to America by British settlers. There are many foods that were British, long before they were American.

Our local in Hx does beef dripping too.. It’s crap and soggy and the lose grease goes rock hard and you can taste it.. chuffin awful 😂 lol

[@TheErador]

Webster's in Saltaire/Baildon still use dripping, it's great!

[@alangeorgebarstow]

@@johnheckles8239 If it's 'crap and soggy', that's because the staff in your chippy are crap and soggy. Any decent fish-fryer, who knows how to fry in beef dripping, will fry the best fish and chips ever; crispy and tasty, never soggy. Just nip up to Whitby and enjoy the best fish and chips in the world, all properly fried in beef dripping. Frying in oil, which is now proved to be a poison, should be banned.

Crumpets are so amazing. Literally a sponge for butter

[@brolohalflemming7042]

Make them! Add to the US collection of pancake-style treats. Or if you're being fancy, make eggs benedict with a crumpet base, slice of bacon/ham, poached egg stacked and hollandaise sauce poured on top. Avoid supermarket crumpets as those tend to have the texture and flavor of sports shoe insoles. Then try making muffins, which are also great if you can get the hang of crisp top & bottom, and fluffy interior. Personally I prefer muffins to crumpets, which could be considered heresy in some parts of the UK.

The toasting should really be a secondary process, and better after the crumpets have cooled down and rested after the original griddling. And yes, it is especially nice done with a toasting fork in front of a wood fire.
