Why do the buggers take so long to brown? Put some under the grill and it must have taken a good 8 mins to be ready (and there's nothing wrong with my grill)

I do them in the toaster, 2.5 mins and they're lovely and golden.

Add a slice of ham, a poached egg on top & a dollop of hollandaise sauce.
Slurp.

I don't like them brown, I like them just warm. My OH thinks that's horrible but he likes them with marmite on! Sweet only for me

I don't think crumpets are as good as they used to be. I remember them much more springy with more depth and less doughy than they are now.

Did you mean to type seconds there or do you like them a bit dried up.

I cook mine under the grill.
One side only - the side with the holes !
Plenty of butter, so it drips through onto the plate with a gentle squeeze
Oh yes - and a lovely hot mug of tea !
Sometimes I might have some golden syrup on them. Depends on my mood !!

As long as she's got a pulse and clean underwear, I'm happy.

No, 30 minutes, I like them with a bit of crisp to it.

Sometimes I oven bake them gas mark 300.

They taste nice with some taco sauce on.

I also like them frozen made into icelollys.
