I fell in love with crumpets and Nutella on our trip to Australia. So I thought it would be fun to make them at home. I bought some cute little egg rings, found an easy recipe online, and left the dough to rise covered with some plastic wrap on the counter while I went out to do some gardening. When I came back in the house the dough was flowing like lava out of the bowl on to the counter.
I cleaned up the mess, heated up the grilled, sprayed the rings with Pam and filled the rings with dough. Unfortunately, the cute little, piece of crap, egg rings I bought that were suppose to be non-stick stuck, so I had to get a knife and cut them out of the rings.
The dough was too thick and didn’t bubble up, so I added some more milk and in the end abandoned the egg rings and just made crumpet crepes. My sad little crumpets didn’t have that nice texture that I remembered from Australia, but when I spread them with Nutella they were tasty. Well the Nutella was tasty any way. And yes, I did lick the knife.

We have crumpets from Wolfermans sent to us all the time. Never thought to add Nutella to them. OH YUM, my new breakfast…

Oh yum! I had an Australian roomate for a while, so I got very familiar with nutella, so good. I also got very familiar with vegemite, which i did not like as much lol!

Oh, I actually think they look scrumptious! And a smear of nutella must have taken away any disappointment and brought it all together! Wow, now I want to try making crumpets, too.
Anita
I love nutella too! Pity the crumpet recipe didn't turn out as you'd hoped.

I wouldn't mind a couple for a mid morning snack!

Your crumpets look delish even thought they didn't turn out exactly as planned. And with Nutella slathered on top – pretty darn good if you ask me.

When we do these free-form we then call them pikelets:D When you feel like some British crimpets try this recipe that I received from a fellow blogger from "The Bread Bible" it may be what you're looking for:D

I've never made crumpets although enjoy eating them. I did take a cooking class in which they taught crumpet making and found it interesting. That was one part of the class that I didn't try at home!

Oops, it's me again! I wasn't finished. :0)
I wanted to say that this sounds like the time I tried to use a pancake ring for my griddle. It was a mess too!
I still think they look pretty and turned out better than mine would have!

These are so wonderful! I don't think mine would look as pretty!

Oh what a shame 🙁 But they do look lovely. When you mentioned that crumpets were an Australian only thing I was surprised as you guys seen to have everything! 🙂

Barbara, I haven't made crumpets in a little while either because of the sticking issues. Seeing yours, I may try again as well. Maybe all we need is more practice LOL.
Delicious idea about the Nutella!
