Not even close. True crumpet is made with batter rather than dough and
cooked in crumpet rings (aka fried egg rings).

And definitely not rubbery/elastic!

Oh, no ... I thought what he was describing sounded more like
a bialy than a crumpet.

While we're on the subject, anyone else ever buy the
Wolfermann's english muffins or crumpets? I stopped
buying because I'd get too many and kinda get sick
of looking at them filling up my freezer. They were good.

A workable recipe for crumpets was included in my post about English
muffins, back upthread.

I did see your recipes, I forgot to say thanks, I might try
to make them. I'd just have to find a long enough fork to
split them.

Nancy, I use an old angel food cake server. I don't know if they're made any
longer, but if you don't have one, you might find one at a thrift shop or
antique shop. It does the whole muffin at once. I push it in twice, first
once and then again at a right angle to the first.

LOL crumpets don't need to be split. They are toasted or grilled as is.

Yes they are. Best way to describe them. You push down on the top of one, it
springs back quickly. Drop one on its edge, it will bounce some. Yes they
are made with batter though! Lovely things!

Maybe we just assign different values to 'elastic'? I've had hand made
English ones and just about every main brand at one time or another - I've
always loved them! ',;~}~

Reminds me of one of my brothers not so bright girlfriends. My Mum asked her
if she'd like a piklet... her reply... no thankyou, I don't like fish!

We must. The supermarket crumpets are awful and yes, rubbery. Homemade
ones I've had were much better and not elastic at all LOL.
