I don't like crumpets - as someone said above, nasty rubbery things.
What people really like are the toppings e.g the oozing butter, jam etc, which I feel might as well be had on bread or toast.
They are not rubbery if you get the right ones and toast them right.
Proper butter and Jam on toast, mmm, A nice whole meal bread with plenty of flavour.
Anyone eating them rubbery hasn't cooked them enough, they need to be thoroughly toasted to be the right consistency. They also have no fat until you put the topping on personally I like butter on mine so yes a bit fatty.

Decent butter, mind you not cheap stuff. I used Whey butter on mine.
I thought Pikelets were basically thin crumpets, but theyre two different things arent they?
They're more or less the same recipe, but you put the batter in a ring on the pan/griddle for a crumpet and you don't use a ring for a pikelet, so the batter spreads out.
That's why a crumpet has straight sides and a pikelet has no sides to speak of.

Pikelets is really a aussie pancake, I also think it have something to do with New Zealand as well if I remember rightly.
I have no idea why people call crumpets pikelets, I have always called them crumpets.
I love crumpets and Warburtons were always my favourite but I don't eat them any more as I'm doing Slimming World and would only eat crumpets dripping with butter so they're out
The crumpet itself isn't fatty though, each 55g Warburtons crumpet contains 0.4g of fat (0.1g saturates).
Has anyone had Scots crumpets, slightly different and sweet. had them for first time last year in Wigtown and they are devine, managed to make them pretty well to!

Im originally from Sctland & my mother & grandma made them. Lovely fried as well with bacon & eggs etc.:)

Try some spread on that is lower in fat, not sure what it will taste like mind you.
Try Vitalite, so far it is seems to be the best spread for toast apart from butter, so maybe it will be ok on Crumpets.

I do like crumpets. If I have them I tend to have them on a Sunday evening for my tea. I love them with marmite and cheese on, warburtons are best
Warburtons all the way! Although my fella bought some Easter bunny shaped ones from Asda that were nice. Sainsburys do some square toaster ones. I only toast one side and cover in butter and marmalade yum yum.

M&S do some sourdough ones now which were nicer than I expected.
My mum used to call them pikelets and my Mates mum who is from Sctoland also calls them Pikelets.

Yes pikelets are thinner by far.

Got to have butter. nice and thick,

Wow, four crumpets in the one go. That's umm... impressive.
Surely then you buy 2 packets which gives you 3 servings. I keep mine in the freezer and just toast from frozen.

Completely different to crumpets. Pikeltes don't have yeast in for a start.

A lot different. but never tried them myself.
