What Are Crumpets?

Originating in Wales around the 1700’s, a crumpet is a small griddle bread that is usually served for breakfast or with afternoon tea. Made with an unsweetened batter, crumpets can be enjoyed with savory spreads such as vegan butter or eaten with sweeter foods such as jams and syrups.

They can be thought of as a sort of cross between a pancake and an English muffin except less sweet! Since they are traditionally made with either milk or water, some crumpets are vegan by default, although we vote that it’s always more delicious to make them using dairy-free milk! Back in the day, they would be baked on an iron plate over a stove but these days you can simply make them on a pan.
