Crumpets are the quintessential British afternoon tea treat, served warm with lots of butter. There are many ready-made brands out there but it is so much fun to make your own - just plan ahead as the batter needs a few hours to rise. Once ready simply serve the crumpets warm with butter, or a little jam as well for an extra special treat. This recipe yields 24 crumpets, if that is too many then the recipe can be halved.
