What goes on your crumpet ?

[-]

HairyStMary@reddit

Round. They were cheapo ones from the corner shop. Not as good quality as Warburtons but needs must.

[-]

streeturbanite@reddit

this is how my family does it with the moroccan version of the crumpet: beghrir (a flatter, crepe-like crumpet)

[-]

Frog_Life2000@reddit

I love a butter + marmite + cheese combo

[-]

frog_sweat@reddit

Yes the best! I do mine in the air fryer and it’s fucking incredible

[-]

BarkDoggss@reddit

What cheese? I do butter + marmite and never even considered a threesome. Is it cheddar or leicester?

[-]

chuffingnora@reddit

Fuck it, let's get crazy and do a 50:50 Cheddar and Leicester combo

[-]

1182990@reddit

I mean, crumpets come in packs of 6. You can have a different combo on each one.

[-]

chuffingnora@reddit

I'm personally thinking about a quattro formaggi crumpet now. A bold new crumpet world

[-]

loopi320@reddit

If you use soft cheese like Philadelphia, it goes soft and melty and gooey which you don’t get with just normal cheese even when it melts. Total game changer once you have had it.

What is the best tho is those giant crumpets, butter, grated cheese, beans then more cheese

[-]

thenewfirm@reddit

I think cheddar with marmite is the best especially extra mature.

[-]

Civil-Gap-6305@reddit

Oooo hello. Butter and marmite definitely but I've never considered cheese. Ye gods!

[-]

oojiflip@reddit

I'm in the exact same position lol, trying this tomorrow!

[-]

XgisMrs@reddit

Blue cheese is the best it offsets the marmite

[-]

RowRow1990@reddit

I toast the crumpets, butter them and then out them under the grill with cheese so it melts in them.

[-]

HairyStMary@reddit

Correct. And put Branston pickle on top.

[-]

diymuppet@reddit

Marmite & peanut butter. Is amazing.

I'm now considering if I can as cheers to that.

[-]

bumblebeesanddaisies@reddit

The only time I like Marmite is with cheese and/or peanut butter!

[-]

Arch4n0n@reddit

You've nailed it. I thought it was just me because my wife pulls a face every time I do this, and then tells me I'm a wrongun.

[-]

owningxylophone@reddit

I’d the marmite with Branston pickle (not a marmite guy), but otherwise this is the correct answer.

[-]

thekittysays@reddit

Add a slice or 2 of cucumber and you've got perfection

[-]

Books_Bristol@reddit

This is the right way. Strong cheddar-like cheese only. Red Leicester can work.

If I'm feeling fancy, I'll pop a few slices of ripe tomato on top.

[-]

rumour13@reddit

Butter marmite and cream cheese is fantastic

[-]

Silver-Machine-3092@reddit

Butter, marmite, poached egg, pepper, worcestershire sauce.

[-]

Scorpiodancer123@reddit

100% butter, marmite, Colliers cheese 🤌

[-]

dobber72@reddit

Just butter, it's basically just a transportation device for butter, destination, my mouth. I would just spoon the butter in but I'm not uncouth, so I use crumpets.

[-]

Think-Committee-4394@reddit

Optimum butter load for one crumpet

IF crumpet was sufficiently buttered, once crumpet ONE is eaten

There will be enough melted butter on the plate to butter a SECOND crumpet

[-]

ScreamingDizzBuster@reddit

Smother in butter. Then smother in peanut butter. The two meld together and drip through the bottom.

[-]

Longjumping-Act9653@reddit

This has brought back some early 90s memories I didn’t know existed. I wonder if it’ll ever get a nostalgia reboot like Angel delight did

I agree. I loved dream topping and gutted its gone. ive never found a replacement for it.

[-]

Longjumping-Act9653@reddit

Someone in my replies said they have a pack in the cupboard! Apparently you can still buy it

[-]

Silver-Appointment77@reddit

I had a look and seems like only Tesco sells it. We have every other supermarket here except Tesco. Maybes why I havent seen it

[-]

rebekha@reddit

You can still buy it. We have a sachet in the cupboard.

[-]

pajamakitten@reddit

Unless they bring back the white chocolate Dream bars and you melt those on a crumpet.

Psychological-Web828@reddit

Add a thin layer of mayonnaise to that. You won’t regret.

[-]

astateoftrance36@reddit

Exactly how I have mine, have had a few comments at work like why are you putting butter and then peanut butter they just don’t get it…

[-]

durkbot@reddit

I had a childminder who did peanut butter and butter sandwiches when I was little and the combo has been a guilty pleasure of mine ever since.

[-]

TheAlmightyProo@reddit

Omg another one like me. I'm not alone anymore.

Seriously though, ppl have side eyed this as long as I can recall but it started in school some 35 years ago and so to date is my longest running favourite snack. Crumpet toasted until just slightly crisp outside, well buttered, thin but definite later of PB on top (preferably crunchy) I usually have as many as the toaster can accommodate (and yes, it's a major reason for my having a four slice model)

Goes great with a choc, nana or vanilla shake btw.

Nutella, yeast extract (not marmite, there's better) or just buttered are also great on a crump but none half so perfect as the PB option. Never jam though, it's hideous and made of snails (long story but it literally makes me gag just seeing or smelling it)

[-]

PublicOppositeRacoon@reddit

I get that you enjoy this, but I had to downvote. Because I can allow people their styles and likes, but peanut butter is one step too far.

[-]

riddleparadiddle@reddit

Good grief

[-]

Ok-Duck7554@reddit

This is the way. And the butter must be fully melted, and the crumpet be toasted until properly brown; I will not sanction a limp or tepid crumpet.

[-]

soopertyke@reddit

Crunchy outside layer . Just had one

[-]

Nonbinary_Cryptid@reddit

In my house, the butter left on the plate belongs to my cat. She's got her face in it before I'm finished eating, as soon as I lift up the last crumpet. It's a good thing that she is cute.

[-]

thestumpymonkey@reddit

Not to be a party pooper, but butter is bad for cats, especially salted. It’s high in fat and it’s also contains lactose, neither of which are good for cats, and if it’s salted then that’s extra bad

[-]

Nonbinary_Cryptid@reddit

I only have crumpets with butter on them once or twice a year, and I use unsalted butter. She's 16 now, and I think the amount and frequency are not causing problems. I appreciate your concern, and I would see it differently if it was a more regular thing.

[-]

SpiderMonkey_1@reddit

If the butter doesn't run down your face as you bite.... not enough butter.

[-]

Some_Industry_5240@reddit

I mean that why crumpets have those little holes - butter receptors

waste_div@reddit

What if we were to stack the crumpets atop one another? What then?

[-]

Ok-Duck7554@reddit

You must stack the crumpets. You must stack the first buttered crumpet atop the second buttered crumpet, lest the intervening delay cause the latter crumpet to lose its butter-melting potencies.

[-]

beermonster101@reddit

A crumpet fountain, genius...

Ah... you are my sole mate....let's...eat crumpets.

[-]

DoKtor2quid@reddit

Don’t forget the marmite that goes on before the cheese. And for godlike, then the slices of onion that go on top of the cheese, ready to sauté in the melting cheese when it’s under the grill.

[-]

Hackers79@reddit

Absolutely marmite under the cheese 🤤 Haven't tried the onion atop the cheese with marmite before. I will purchase some crumpets immediately.

I don't really eat butter other than on crumpets, and whilst I don't have crumpets that often I make up for it. The answer to "Is there enough butter on your crumpet?" is always "Of course not!". I think this was most eloquently articulated by the renowned poet and philosopher Danny Dyer when he described the perfect crumpet as "pissing with butter".

[-]

gmarengho@reddit

So much butter that the drips stain my book of poetry.

My brother once used the term "a butter boat" meaning any food that is purely used to help you shovel in butter. Think, crumpets, jacket potatoes, mash potatoes, fresh bread.

I think its just a perfect way to put it

The only way to be sure there's enough butter is to keep adding it until it comes out the bottom.

Get the timing right and just as the crumpet comes out the toaster and is buttered, put cheese on before the hot egg, and omfg it’s elevated to another level.

Crumpets are simple. Just butter or marge. Anything else is far too flamboyant.

Marge? Is it the 90’s and are you my mum?

[-]

niminypiminyniffler@reddit

Do they even still make marge? Which god forsaken establishment would one even find it sold in?!

[-]

vcdaisy@reddit

You know all those plant based spreads, they're the rebranded version of marge.

I recently tried one, a brand that rhymes with Nora, in an effort to reduce my sat fat intake. I tried it on toast and wanted to cry. It sat there, not melting! A strange opaque yellowish blob of something akin to axle grease. Thought I'd time travelled back to 1973. I hated it.

The rest of the tub is languishing under the butter tub in the fridge

[-]

I_Just_Varted@reddit

Stick with real butter, it's more healthy and isn't an ultra processed food, unlike Nora and the like.

[-]

vcdaisy@reddit

IKR but have reached 'that age' where my Dr has me on a statin because of family history giving increased risk. Thought I'd try it but noped out when it just sat there not melting on hot toast. No idea why

PlaneyMcPlanefaceX@reddit

And you must butter AGAIN before the 2nd cook.

[-]

RBII@reddit

I know this is old now, but I thought it was worth mentioning that there are toasters out there with a crumpet function now. Whacks up the heat on one side so the top gets properly crisped, but the bottom doesn't turn to carbon.

Game changer, honestly.

[-]

Yes!! It has to be almost burnt! Underdone crumpets are too doughy. Also, butter and honey 🍯

Please, trust me and try Philadelphia and Apricot Jam - it's honestly so good, I've turned so many disbelievers onto it!

Apricot jam is my favourite, that sounds really good! Also, apricot jam, mayo and a bit of curry powder is the best sauce for dipping your chicken dippers in! I guess it's basically Coronation Chicken sauce but it is good!

Obviously all of the above combos, and more.

I then usually eat with a spoon 🙈 Heaven sigh The only problem is, living in Germany now, I don't have access to crumpets, so I've not had one since my last packet of crumpets ran out in January. 😭

One does not spread butter on a crumpet, one retrieves the butter (salted) directly from the fridge and slices it to preference, my preference being about 5mm, then place the slice directly on the very hot crumpet.

I don't think there are any laws about what to put on a crumpet.. unlike some other English rules of food.... although it is correct that it is traditionally a vehicle for butter ... Personally I find butter (the real stuff not that evil impersonator margarine) and Golden Syrup to be a favourite warming combination...I don't personally agree with putting jam on a crumpet, jam is best reserved for scones (similar to what Anericans call biscuits) along with butter and clotted cream, or on a slice of fresh white bread (with butter of course). I haven’t got any problem with you putting Philadelphia on your crumpet, what I really don't understand is why smoked salmon sandwiches get paired up with cream cheese ... makes them much too sticky ... just butter, black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice for me

My wife told me her family secret and life has never been the same since...

...instead of putting butter ON your crumpet after you've toasted them in a toaster or grill...you fry the little fellas IN butter in a frying pan! Words cannot describe!

Honestly, do it. You won't look back!

I think some people in the Uk are uncultured when it comes to food. I’ve had people question peanut butter and spices going together as if that’s not like the concept of satay sauce.

Yes Philadelphia, but my friend recently started adding a slice of peperoni on top too and they're divine.

My favourite is toasting the crumpet, adding a load of cheese and melting it under the grill so the cheese melts into the holes. Absolute heaven.

So much butter that i should invest in my own dairy farm. Maybe buy a cow or three. What I'm saying is that there is so much butter on my crumpets that I swipe them around the plate, soaking up all the excess butter that seeped out because there could be a little bit too much butter on the crumpet although I'm sure science has already agreed with my findings.

I also once put marmite on a crumpet, and it was lovely but I felt like i was cheating on butter so I didn't do it again. I spoke with Butter and she has forgiven me so all is much much butter now!

Usually just butter, but I saw a thing recently where you….

Cut the crumpet horizontally, and put a bit of butter, branston pickle, and cheese inside. Then you close it, put branston pickle, topped with cheese, and then Worcestershire sauce on the top, and stick in the oven until toasty and brown on the top. After some experimenting I’ve found the small, sandwich type pickle works the best.

Oh my gosh it’s so yummy.

Just butter. But if I haven't eaten all day and need something decent crumpet butter beans and cheese

[-]

smokeawitness@reddit

The Crumpet is as versatile as the Sandwich.

[-]

Fairly-ordinary-me@reddit

Crumpet has to be toasted well done in my opinion and butter is enough but a spot of marmalade is good too. I’ve gone bagely on it too and done cream cheese and butter.

[-]

ChewiesLipstickWilly@reddit

Finally, a worthy question!

my 2 fave things are butter and extra mature cheddar (cold, not melted)

But I do love adding some jam to that combo when I have a sweet/sour tooth.

Honestly, that's it. Nutella is ok, but my cousin is a fan of that, I'm not.

Can someone explain to me why I’m not getting crumpets? What am I missing?

When I moved to the UK I took to 99% of your country like a duck to water, but I cannot for the life of me find a way to make crumpets enjoyable.

[-]

aemdiate@reddit

You are toasting them aren't you? Raw crumpet is gak. You need to toast them darker than you like toasted bread and you don't spread them with butter, you fill them with butter.

[-]

MattSR30@reddit

I am toasting but I guess not enough. I tend to eat toast barely toasted, so that’s possibly the issue.

[-]

aemdiate@reddit

Likely the issue, I like pale toast, but crumpets can take the higher settings, and being a bit harder. Go further than you think you'd enjoy.

[-]

Just_Information_282@reddit

I too prefer my toast lightly golden but crumpets have to be bordering burnt, it’s the only thing I use the 5 setting for on the toaster.

[-]

Crafty-Sprinkles3470@reddit

They need a min of 1.5 goes in the toaster if not twice and it must be butter, not using margarine are you?

[-]

BlakeC16@reddit

As someone who uses margarine (well, "sunflower spread" as it's called these days), it works just as well when it comes to putting plenty on and letting it melt in to the crumpet. Though I appreciate butter is the more popular choice and I'm with you on the 1.5 goes in the toaster.

Next time you're doing a Philly crumpet:

Butter it up, cold, and smoosh as much Philly cheese into it as you can.

While you're doing that, get a small frying pan warming up with a healthy blob of butter melting away.

Once the pan is nice and hot, drop the crumpet onto it for a couple of minutes to toast the bottom side.

Re-apply Philly cheese as you feel appropriate before flipping it for a final sear on the Philly side 👌🏻

Thank me later

Electronic_Watch_700@reddit

Your top three are also my preferences, in that order too!

I can't believe the amount of scrolling I had to do before finding a mention of "tomato puree". Sure...melted cheese is nice. BUT pair that with some tomato puree and it's next level tastiness.

I've had fried egg on crumpets with baked beans poured over the top with a sprinkle of grated cheese too. It was a novelty inspired by using up crumpets for dinner time before they went out of date.

I'm not sure I've ever put anything sweet on them, which is rather strange considering I have a sweet tooth, I might have to give it a go.

TheWyrdSmyth@reddit

Butter, sometimes Vegemite. But always butter. Bonus points for actual real butter.

A quick lunch is eggy crumpets, which is a fave in my house - fried egg with the runny yolk soaking into the crumpet.

If I'm feeling fancy, crumpets make the perfect base for an Eggs Royale!

Damn I love crumpets.

Butter, peanut butter and jam!

Just plain old butter as a minimum though :-))

[-]

Fantastic-Spare-515@reddit

I’m a crumpet purist. Butter only, and lashings of it.

My mum lives on the wild side and likes hers smothered in chocolate spread. I tried it once and swore never again, the crumpet did not taste right without the buttery goodness.

[-]

Empty-Elderberry-225@reddit

Peanut butter! Surprised this isn't more popular. Occasionally just butter.

[-]

Corssoff@reddit

I'll do you one better. I do two crumpets, one with peanut buter and one with nutella. Reeses knew what they were doing with the peanut buter & chocolate combo!

[-]

ThatGirlFromClimbing@reddit

Butter, marmite, and cheese! God tier!

[-]

Evie_Astrid@reddit

A very thin, barely there layer of Marmite, and it has to be with real butter.

The love it or hate it Marmite thing? Nah. I sit more at 'like' and even then will only have it occasionally, if I crave it.

Butter and marmite obviously.

Usually butter and marmite. Peanut butter is good, too!

Butter, then German black pepper salami, topped with Red Leicester and a dash of worcester, under the grill. Or just butter till the holes are half filled.

Philadelphia works really well on a crumpet! Also butter and marmite is one of my favourites.

Also recommend grated cheddar; then stick it under the grill for a minute or so to have a crumpet pizza.

My personal fave is chive primula and a very mature cheddar

Experiment62693@reddit

Butter and sometimes marmite

jbkb1972@reddit

Marmite or dairylea spread cheese, or just butter.

[-]

OranjeBrian@reddit

Out of the zillion times I’ve ate crumpets cheese spread has probably accounted for at least 75%, butter and jam maybe 15% and butter only 10%

This isn’t a cream or jam scone debate. Cheese all the way!

[-]

prustage@reddit

I sometimes think "Hey Ill have crumpets with jam / marmalade / pate / cheese / marmite / peanut butter / baked beans / sliced ham / sardines...". I get all the stuff out and pop them in the toaster.

Then they pop out of the toaster, I spread butter on them, watch it trickle its golden beauty into the little holes and think "Nah, they are just too wonderful exactly as they are". And then I put all the stuff back.
