NEKRO138 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I'd like to see Sheffield Forum divided in half. On one side, the pikelet buffoons can enjoy their pikelet talk all day, on the other side, the much more intelligent crumpet champions can exchange their worldly views on politics, delivered with razor-sharp wit.

bladesufc1 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 i love proving people wrong hehe, The Crumpet The crumpet is circular in shape (usually; long and square varieties also exist) and has a distinctive flat top covered in small holes. It has a resilient, slightly spongy texture and a rather bland flavour which, when eaten hot with a topping (usually butter), together make crumpets crisp on the outside and very succulent on the inside. Crumpets are still one of the mainstays of the English breakfast table. They differ from the English Muffin[1], which is cooked on both sides, in that the dough is usually more moist to start with, so that a muffin ring may be required to hold the batter's shape. Crumpets are served hot, usually with butter. Other popular accompaniments include jam, Marmite, honey, or cheese. Typically, several crumpets are bought together and toasted. A pikelet is similar to a crumpet, but much thinner and sometimes irregularly shaped. (However, the meaning of pikelet varies: in some regions of Britain it traditionally refers to a crumpet, muffin or other teacake. In Australia and New Zealand it refers to a Scotch pancake.) A buttered crumpet.Delia Smith lists the following ingredients as being sufficient for 16 crumpets: 12 fl oz milk (355 ml) 1 tbsp yeast 1 tsp caster sugar 1 tsp salt 8 oz plain flour (227 g) It is worth noting that the recipe contains no egg, and that most variations contain no sugar. The crumpet should not be confused with the sweeter English muffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
