I LOVE CRUMPETS!

Crumpets are similar to the American pancakes, except that the aerating agent is yeast, rather than baking powder, therefore, yielding different flavour and texture to the "pancake". It can be eaten savoury or sweet, originated from the United Kingdom, frequently mentioned in Enid Blyton's books which usually pair them freshly made, piping hot with new butter and strawberry jam.
I went to sleep, thinking about crumpets and classic English afternoon tea, and then I decided that I would make some. First thing I got up, I whipped everything up, left it to prove, and got me stomach ready for some FOOOD.
*Sizzle sizzle* Butter in pan, ring mould in the centre, the smell was AH-MAY-ZING. I didn't have any decent jam at hand, so I ended up eating it with everything you could put on bread. Including the Guinness Lamb, to IanPenguin's great sadness. *whoops*
