What's not to love about crumpets... especially crumpets with caramel butterscotch syrup :D
Crumpets has become my favourite breakfast of choice, sadly... I don't have it as often as I would like to!
because...

First, a packet of crumpets doesn't come with a lower price tag.
Secondly, they dont stay 'fresh' for long... fresh as in 'supermarket and industrial' standard kind of fresh :(... Crumpets gets mouldy so fast in summer... 

Making my own crumpets were not as difficult as I initially thought.
It was just as easy as making pancakes, the only real hard work would be... when the batter stuck to the egg ring... with much jiggling and shaking.. it refused to budge :(.
That was the only battle I had to fight..really :P

I can't recall who (but I had this feeling it was Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall), that we should not use  egg ring to make crumpets because its has no depth!!! I agree with his statement but I am not going to go out and buy crumpet rings, when I only make them.... hmmm once in a blue moon ;P
So EGG rings would do just nice.. thank you :D
