Questions about Crumpet
How do you toast a crumpet so it is crisp outside and warm in the middle?
Toast it until the top is golden and the middle is hot; if the outside browns before the centre warms, use a lower toaster setting and toast it again. A crumpet straight from the freezer can usually go straight into the toaster, but may need an extra cycle.
Can you heat a crumpet in a frying pan?
Yes. Warm it in a dry frying pan over a low-to-medium heat for a few minutes on each side, until crisp outside and hot through; keep the heat moderate so it does not scorch before the centre warms.
What do you put on a crumpet?
Butter is the classic topping: spread it over a hot crumpet so it melts into the holes. Jam, honey, marmite or melted cheese also work well; add cheese after toasting, then grill briefly until bubbling.
How should you store crumpets, and can you freeze them?
Keep unopened crumpets in their packaging and follow its storage instructions; once opened, seal them well and use them promptly. Freeze them in a sealed bag, separating them if you want to take out one at a time, and toast from frozen.
Can you eat crumpets without toasting them?
They are already cooked and can be eaten as they are, but toasting gives the outside a better texture and warms the centre. If they have been stored frozen, defrost them first or toast them straight from frozen.
What is the difference between wholemeal and white crumpets?
Wholemeal crumpets have more fibre: 3.9 g per 100 g, compared with 3 g in white crumpets. White crumpets have slightly more energy, at 222 kcal per 100 g versus 200 kcal in wholemeal ones.
Are crumpets and English muffins the same thing?
No. Crumpets are soft, yeasted griddle breads with a porous top full of holes; English muffins are denser and are usually split horizontally before toasting. The holes make crumpets especially good at catching melted butter.
