No that was a tuffet.


I thought crumpet's went with tea. I am so uninformed and have such an unsophisticated palate. But my grandchildren love me and they are all employed gainfully.

Crumpets can go with tea, Gracie. My grandmother used to serve them with hot butter and honey during afternoon tea. Here is some more info for you:


Hot crumpets
English crumpets are generally circular, roughly 8 cm (3") in diameter and 2 cm (0.8") thick. Their shape comes from being restrained in the pan/griddle by a shallow ring. They have a characteristic flat top with many small pores and a chewy and spongy texture. They may be cooked until ready to eat warm from the pan but are frequently left slightly undercooked so that they may be cooled and stored before being eaten freshly toasted. They are often eaten with a spread of butter or an alternative, such as jam, honey, chocolate spread, or yeast extract.
