That's a question i was going to ask....Are Crumpets available in Oz, as i am going down there next month ?     Presume they are in all the Supermarkets ?

Yes mate, the afore mentioned Golden Crumpets are the go to brand.

 

Guys, are the egg rings really required ?

 

,,,,,,,,,,,, are the egg rings really required ?

 

Someone mentioned Pikelets to me earlier today, I had never heard of a Pikelet but it looks like they are identical in the batter mix vut are made without the egg rings.

A quick Google told me 

Essentially, the main difference is that a pikelet is not cooked in a ring like acrumpet, hence why it is thinner and more freeform in shape. Crumpets were originally hard, it was not until the Victorian era that they became soft and spongy as we know them today.

The Aussie Golden Crumpets don’t really look like they’ve been egg ringed, hence my question...

Or do like Titlia, cut the top and bottom off a can of tuna. Why go out and buy 'egg rings'?

 

Recycle and all that.

Could have saved yourself B20 and the trip....provided you eat canned tuna I suppose.

 

Did you check out her crumpet video?

Dutch recipe almost same. 1 on 1 translation '3 in the pan'.

Easy without rings as the batter is dense. In the pic they look almost like cinnamon rolls.

I was brought up in the north and I've never heard of raisins in pikelets.  The main difference between piklets and crumpets is the 'egg rings'.  Pikelets are usually free form so therefore thinner and crumpets are what Warburton's make.

 

Having said that,  in the north of England both variations are called pikelets.

 

That pic in the previous post look nothing like either but do look tasty nevertheless.

Cheshire and Staffordshire, use currants and raisins in pikelets.

These days given a choice between a "Crumpet", the food item, and "Crumpet" ( money grabbing slags) I ll choose the former. Maybe an age thing !!!

 

Now. Lets move on to Meat Pies.......!!!

I'll think you'll find thats "Strumpet" not crumpet in that context. ????

'crumpet' is in English slang meaning a 'sexy girl'.  i.e. "She's a nice bit of crumpet".

Ok, I had a crack tonight, I used Jamie’s “lecipie” ???? that was posted earlier.

I’d glanced over the ingredients and it looked good to go, when I actually started it called for flour by weight... I don’t have scales ????

My measuring cups showed millilitres, so I had a crack @ 300 ml.

Fail, it was pretty runny, a quick look @ the YouTube video also posted earlier showed a thicker mixture, so I freehandded it.

I think it ended up a little thick, so I didn’t get the bubbles rising through the crumpet very well.

They did taste quite good though, (I went with the vegemite &butter) so I’ll have another crack @ it.

Down boy, your getting to a dangerous age, looking at that crumpet you might blow a gasket.

Mind you beats Warburtons crumpets any day.

Crumpets? My Dad always ate pikelets, I had crumpets, from the same packet.

Ultimate product not so bad at all. 

When will you be taking orders for Chiang Mai delivery?

Ditto.

 

My understanding is that, officially, pikelets are made without the ring. Same same but different.

When I googled pikelets, this is what I found:

As the one who started this post by trying to find where out you can by crumpets I never realized that it would keep going for so long and attract so much interest.

I always believed  that pikelets were a different beast to crumpets but it seems you are spot on.

They are the same made without the ring therefore thinner and crispier at the edges.

According to Google anyway.
