Crumpets

I am officially a crumpet convert...

I have heard about these scrumptious quintessentially British (or Commonwealth) breakfast breads, but never had the pleasure of trying them until this past week.  My photo does not do them justice (That is raspberry jam on the top in case anyone is wondering). Crumpets are apparently made with batter, unlike English muffins, and are essentially a cousin to pancakes. They have a really nice dense texture and are full of little nooks and crannies which allow for extra butter and jam.  Mmmmm...mmm...mmmm...gooood.
