About 20 yrs ago, a British friend introduced me to crumpets and they
were pretty awesome. I do not have crumpet rings, but I thought about
using the 3" rings from canning jars. I can not maintain my current
weight, eating crumpets very often, which is why I have not bought the
crumpet rings.

Tuna cans are the right size, I would use a can opener to remove the top
of the can, but they have a rounded bottom, so can openers would not
work on those. I will have to check out canned water chestnuts and
pineapple to see if those cans would work, but I have an idea that they
are the same as tinned tuna. Anybody have any ideas? I just might have
to buy those crumpet rings after all.

I adore crumpets! I bought a pair of silicone egg rings to use for
making crumpets and they work as well as I imagined they would.
However, I also have a 3.5 round cookie cutter (metal) that should
work just as well... and it cost $1.50 at the most.

I think canning jar rings would work, but 3 inches is too small. 3.5
inches is optimal, IMHO.

I made my rings from tuna cans before the bottoms became one-piece.
Currently, you might be able to find another meat or fish product with
the old-style bottom. I've recently made hamburger bun rings from New
Zealand Corned Beef cans. Try looking in the imported foods area.

Thanks, I have a biscuit cutter that is 3.5 inches wide, but I only have
one of them and I want to cook a few at a time. Thanks for the link. I
was looking at these, they are 3.07 inches wide.

You should try it with your biscuit cutter and your jar rings first.
That way you can see what size you like. I only needed two rings.
The batter sets up quickly and you take the ring off to turn the
crumpet. The process turned out to be a lot faster than I'd expected.

Metal biscuit cutters will work fine, Becca.
