For some reason growing up I always thought crumpets were some hard, bland thing only old people ate. It wasn't until a few years ago that I looked up what they were and I wanted to try them since.
I used eggs rings, since nowhere around here sells crumpet rings, which has the added benefit of being able to make perfectly matching eggs.
Have you ever had what they call a scone in Utah? I went to sundance and had one of these. ¡¡ it is deep fried bread dough!! I am up nights wondering how they make crumpets.
