Crumpets

Discuss.

The only people who automatically dislike crumpets are idiotic redneck Americans who haven't even tried them.

Looks like a biscut with hemrhoids.

Are those the same as English muffins?

I've never had a crumpet before, but I wouldn't say no to trying one. Are they always served with cranberry sauce on the side?

The preview pop up box showed: Only people who don't like them are idiotic redneck Americans who haven't ever tried them. I'm sad to see that line isn't in here and edited out.

Though I'm sure most Americans are oblivious to the fact that it is equivalent to biscuit or English muffin. Given slight differences. Though I don't know of too many Americans that go on a tirade when crumpets are brought up. They'd have to be some pretty pissed off Revolutionary War vets to get that pissed off.

Ah well. I will ask some over here if they would like some spotted dick for a snack. Forget crumpet rage!

It is. I was waiting for some American responses before I pointed out you gotta highlight the whole post...

They are completely different taste/texture wise.

• Crumpets are always made with milk, but English muffins never do. (Though there are a few recipes that beg to differ.)

• Crumpet batter is just that: a loose batter. English muffins are made from a more firm dough. (Sometimes.)

• Crumpets are made only using baking soda, where as English muffins are made with yeast or sourdough (and occasionally a little baking soda to help things along).

• Crumpets are cooked only on one side, so the bottom is flat and toasted while the top is speckled with holes (delicious, butter-absorbing holes...). English muffins are more bread-like and are toasted on both sides. (This one is actually a definite!)

I like them hot with loads of butter, its like sucking down on a soggy mattress until the juice runs down your chin

Crumpets are quite good to eat, also I like to put my balls on when nice and warm from the oven.

American version is superior.

Personally, I've never been a fan of them.
