Smothered in berries, filled with chocolate chips or just plain drizzled with maple syrup, crumpets make me think of family holidays and lazy weekends. My personal favourite is covered in strawberries, maple syrup with a dollop of marscapone with a good cappuccino on the side.
I've use many recipes before, including my own, but I have come to love the version in Recipes from the Royal Kitchen. A truly useful collection of recipes which was a free gift in a magazine a couple of years ago. It's a no-fuss selection of traditional, everyday, unpretentious recipes that no kitchen should be without, the kind you receive from your grandmother.
These crumpets are perfect every time with just the right amount of rise and a perfectly light texture, non of that stick-to-your-palate gloopyness.I do, however, add buttermilk to mine on occasion which gives it just that extra bit of fluffiness.
So, with the mercury dipping into single digits, I know we're all craving a little bit of comfort. Get your favourite recipes out and........
Enjoy!
