In the foodservice scene, where innovation often merges with tradition, crumpets have become an unexpected star. The quintessentially British comfort food, known for its soft texture and balanced taste, is being reimagined in kitchens across the country. Because of it’s neutral base it’s the ultimate base for all kinds of recipes from sweet to savoury (and sometimes a bit of both!).
We’ve wrapped up our top three recipes that use Golden Crumpets in very different ways. We’re redefining what crumpets can be in the modern culinary landscape and would love to hear from you if you’re getting creative too.
Tiramisu Crumpets: This recipe is the ultimate indulgence, catering for diners who are looking for something special when they dine out. It’s the perfect brunch item for those with a real sweet tooth.
Crumpets with Cottage Cheese, Tomatoes and Prosciutto: A more classic breakfast offering, this recipe ups the ante with extra protein from cottage cheese – perfect for your health-conscious diners who still want something a bit special when they dine out for breakfast. You can easily make this vegetarian by removing the prosciutto (but we love the added saltiness).
Vegan Crumpets: Did you know Golden Crumpets are vegan-friendly? This makes them a brilliant base for your plant-based diners. One of our all-time favourite crumpet recipes is this vegan breakfast crumpet with homemade macadamia and coconut butter.
Lemon Meringue Crumpets: This zesty and sweet crumpet creation is another show-stopper breakfast-cross-dessert. Serve with fresh fruit and edible flowers for a Instagram-worthy dish, and consider blowtorching at the table for some extra wow-factor!
