Crumpets are a much loved food for many Brits but making the perfect crispy crumpet can be even easier with this tip.
According to Which Magazine, you should opt for a higher setting to make them crispier.
The popular food item can dry out easily so you shouldn’t leave them in for too long but having a bit of extra crunch can make your crumpets taste even better than usual.
Which Magazine says it’s important to change your toaster setting for each different type of bread you’re cooking.
Making this simple change can help to ensure your toast, crumpets, English muffins, or different types of bread, are perfectly cooked.
Crumpets and English muffins are best enjoyed with a crispy edge and doughy inside which can be achieved by using a higher setting.
They will need different times in the toaster, though.
English muffins are best cooked through and hot enough for butter or hollandaise sauce to melt into them.
Another way to make your crumpets taste even better is by changing up your toppings.
You can’t go wrong with a simple butter which is the spread of choice for most.
However, getting creative could make your crumpets taste even better. For example, a jam with fresh berries such as strawberries or raspberries is a great healthy but sweeter option for a topping.
Alternatively, you could use banana slices with honey or nut butter.
Another choice would be greek yoghurt with honey, or, for a savoury option you could try smoked salmon and cream cheese.
In the UK, Warbutons are the top crumpet producer, selling over 700 million crumpets a year.
Crumpets are a cross between an English muffin and pancakes, their distinguishing feature is their holes which allows butter to permeate through from top to bottom.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even make your own crumpets at home as the tasty food item is much more simple to make than you might think.
