No afternoon tea is complete without a delicious, tasty, and quintessential British teatime treat – crumpet. Typically prepared with flour, milk or water, and yeast, though sugar, salt, and baking powder or baking soda are also often added to the combination, crumpets are small round golden brown bread that is traditionally cooked in a special crumpet ring on a griddle. Crumpets are recognized for their smooth round bottoms that are in stark contrast to their unique surfaces which are dotted with dozens of tiny holes. This traditional specialty is usually enjoyed for breakfast or as an afternoon tea treat, typically slathered with butter, jam, honey, or golden syrup.
For a savory treat, crumpet cakes are often served with bacon or poached eggs. In the UK, ready-made versions of crumpets are also available, but these need to be lightly toasted before consumption.
