Crumpets

As part of Downton Sundays, the British food creations continue.  The other day, we decided that we had had enough of scones and double cream; something new was needed.  We settled on crumpets.  Not having any crumpet molds, I used large cookie cutters to control the size and shape of these delicious treats.  I attempted to use a cuter with sharp edges and that was disastrous: the crumpet didn't slide out of the corners as it should have done.  Instead, we have heart- and flower-shaped crumpets with our tea and Dowager Countess Granthem.  And in the end, I would say, buy crumpets instead of making them.  Sooo much easier and not a pain to clean up!
