Crumpet Voluntary 06:33 - Aug 17 with 6134 viewsChurchman

I don’t know what others think, but I believe the humble crumpet to be a very fine thing. Warburtons are the best, not being as ‘doughy’ as some. The perfect crumpet combo is as follows:

1 Take two crumpets and bung them in the toaster or grill until golden brown and crunchy top and bottom.
2. While grilling, take some stilton or my current fave Shropshire Blue and shave off enough to layer one crumpet. If it crumbs, even better.
3. When cooked, thinly cover one crumpet with the cheese.
4. Drop the other crumpet on top of the cheesed one and butter it. Proper butter, not that spreadable nonsense. The heat of the first storey crumpet will help melt the stilton into the ground floor crumpet without over cooking it.
5. Separate the two scraping any cheese glued to the base of the upper crumpet onto the lower. Or leave it on there. Crumpet heaven is a broad church.
6. Consume the buttered one first before moving on to the stiltonised delight.

Enjoy with a good strong tea in your Ipswich Town mug while dreaming of a season long unbeaten run and a second FA Cup victory.

I always wondered about the lack of unleavened flat breads in historic English cooking. A chapatti is just flour and water, flattened out, then toasted on something hot. Seems like the thing you'd do almost automatically as a pre-industrial peasant. But seemingly not in England?

(Not a fan of the corn ones? There's a funky little shop in Stonham Aspal that sells proper ones, as well as masa harina and tortillas presses)


I prefer wheat tortillas to corn.

That Mexican shop is Stonham was linked once before on here. We have something similar up here in Edinburgh, along with about 40 Mexican Restaurants of varying quality.

I have temporary dentures but they are annoying so I don't wear them - and quite frankly I could care less what people think.

I have though got to do a 5 day trade exhibition early September so I will have to think about breaking them in.

Oh, well done the Crumpet Marketing Board. I shall be off down the Co-op forthwith to purchase some. I shall consume them with Flora plant butter and strawberry jam.

Anyone got a problem with that?

Yeah, I have a problem with the FLora, naturalish ingredients maybe, but still ultr-processed fake food. You'd be better off with a nice organic, grass-fed real butter.

If you have a decent blender, I can recommend Watermelon Gaspacho.

Delicious, fresh and very good for you.

Warburtons Crumpets, cheese and Worcestershire sauce ought to work as an alternative to pickle. The combo is great on toast, though you have to go light on the WS. Just a few drops.

Edit: this would work better with strong cheddar rather than blue cheese methinks.

Another go to option, cheese and Worcestershire sauce

I have also been known to construct what my wife calls a "Crumpet Pizza". Toasted, topped with grated cheese and ham, possibly with some diced jalapenos if in the cupboard. Stuck under the grill briefly to get a good melt on it

I reckon an M&S Rollito with Serrano ham and Manchego cheese, finely chopped (they will cut when chilled) so the cheese melts in on top of a crumpet would be a sensation. The only worry is the meltage of the Mancheo.

Those M&S Rollitos are dynamite for flavour.

Yes, has to be cheddar that melts a little

Will try the WS (Brown sauce is also a good option)

Celery juice has to be one of the worst things ever, I'd possibly rather a cup of my own urine, be more flavorsome at least. Who looks at celery and thinks "that would make a nice drink?"
