Did you know?

Crumpets date back to the 17th century and were originally hard pancakes cooked on a griddle.
The holes on top come from using baking soda, which creates air bubbles during cooking.
Traditionally served at tea time, crumpets are best enjoyed toasted with butter melting into the holes.
Though similar in appearance, English muffins are split and baked, while crumpets are not split and are softer.
