No I think they’re made of bread or some kind of pancake

I prefer bottom right. But you’ve perfectly captured the acceptable spectrum of crumpets. Danny Dyer has the best butter-on-crumpet description: absolutely pissing in butter

Yes they look cwithpy to perfection.

I’m going for bottom right but I do like them to be properly “done”

If they aren’t swimming in butter that’s seeped through you’ve not put enough on. Interesting you’ve gone for three different levels of toasting. I approve of all’s because they’re crumpets.

These are all done in the same toaster at the same time. This is always the outcome though 😂

There’s always one side of the toaster that is hotter than the other. I flip mine over and change slot at half time.

Bottom left looks about right to me.

1 underdone, 1 overdone, 1 out of 3 just right... sounds textbook to me....

all done in the same toaster at the same time - this is always the outcome though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah.. hot cross buns suffer the same sort of thing... I have a Dualit toaster so I can lift and rotate them and turn them around etc mid cycle to get them even (but then the wife tells me to "stop dicking around"...)

It's a good excuse to have more crumpets to try to get 2 out of 3 just right or even 3 out of 3. And even getting 3 out of 3 just right one on one occasion wouldn't really prove anything, so you'd need to do several batches, just to make sure. Science is very demanding, but someone has to make the sacrifice.

2 are good, 1 is burnt but can be saved with lashings of butter

I prefer the overdone one

Forgot the marmite!

oportoman@reddit

The black one is overdone

Lopsided-Camel1114@reddit

If there is a circle of melted butter underneath to mop up you're ok.

Crazyblondie11@reddit

Bottom right for me sorry. I hate mushy crumpets
View on Reddit #76949001

Paddy_odoors@reddit

Butter them straight out of toaster, let them get cold & butter them again
View on Reddit #76948744

Time-Mode-9@reddit

Not enough butter.
View on Reddit #76932543

UglyFilthyDog@reddit

That was the only thing I was thinking. Looks like a perfectly cooked crumpet to me, just needs another dozen scoops of butter.

Your plate isnt swimming in butter rookie error

No they are made of flour.

JLaws23@reddit

Drench them in butter and slap some marmite on top.

MesoamericanMorrigan@reddit

I just hate crumpets full stop.
View on Reddit #76938566

Martinonfire@reddit

No, they all look crap, best put some more butter on them and send them over here to be disposed of.
View on Reddit #76937815

Tomatoflee@reddit

These are pretty good except arguably they need to be a little more toasted on the outside to be cooked all the way through.
View on Reddit #76937655

Snaggl3t00t4@reddit

They look like before, during and after to be honest
View on Reddit #76937602

wildflower12345678@reddit

Top one needs another 5 minutes, bottom left needs another 3 minutes, all need more butter.
View on Reddit #76936327

AnyOlUsername@reddit

They’re very round, a little too *perfectly* round. I am suspicious 🤔

victory_roll@reddit

Look, how bottom right is the minimum correct toasting level, but there appears to be a massive lack of marmite? Where is the marmite? Where Is The Marmite ?

Icy-Astronomer-8202@reddit

I think these are actually crumpets not ones in a book
View on Reddit #76936028

DarthScabies@reddit

Not enough butter on them.
View on Reddit #76935401

Kapika96@reddit

Left one looks goodw although severely lacking on the jam! Other 2 look a bit over/under done, and are also lacking jam.
View on Reddit #76932908

HighlandsBen@reddit

Jam? Nah, cinnamon sugar is the elite topping.
View on Reddit #76934667

Shoddy_Pie6514@reddit

Both sound disgusting. Butter and maybe marmite
View on Reddit #76934868

Obvious-Water569@reddit

The one on the right is a little burnt and they're lacking butter.
View on Reddit #76934250

Pale-Woodpecker-8274@reddit

half marmite half jam works well, it's like a main and a dessert x

Icy-Belt-8519@reddit

One is burnt. Not enough butter and normally I only have one, otherwise all good! Lol

Screaming for more butter IMHO

ShingledPringle@reddit

They willingly toasted? What brand?
View on Reddit #76933942

JennyW93@reddit

No, neither of these look like textbooks to me. I think they’re real crumpets. What does your wife say is wrong with them?

Is a text book a book that contains text?

sparklybeast@reddit

You need to increase the butter by a factor of ten.
View on Reddit #76933497

steveakacrush@reddit

Personally I go for the bottom left level of toasting, but would happily eat them all.
View on Reddit #76933385

jc_bromley@reddit

No, peak crumpet is post-consumption.

Jaded-Lifeguard-3915@reddit

Well done! At least one of them anyway 😉

Monkeyboogaloo@reddit

I like 3. Butter, jam and marmite.

Top-Cat-a@reddit

Need jam or some other sweet topping

runew0lf@reddit

No, half of the bottoms left is correct, right is overdone, top needs more!
