Crumpets or muffins?

[British Red]

BTW muffins are things you toast, not big cup cakes!

Anyway, I had to choose today...tricky indeed.

The crumpet does better dripping with butter, but the muffin is so versatile in topping terms.


Thoughts?

Crumpets for a snack with a cup of tea, muffins for when you want a bigger meal

Crumpets every time. With butter and jam or golden syrup.

Crumpets for sure! Plenty of butter and mmmmmm Tasty! I do like muffins especially in things like eggs Benedict but overalls I'm a crumpet chap.

Nooo only butter on crumpets surely?

Crumpets, butter, marmite = happy

Funny enough I had scrambled ducky eggs on muffins for brekkie

Don't be daft lad. The holes are for filling.

I can buy gluten free muffins, but I can make gluten free crumpets

Crumpets are for cream and jam muffins are for butter and marmite

Some people are choosey. I'm a glutton; I'll just take both thanks.

I think i'll invent Crumffins over the Holidays.

You found the correct answer

Crumpets are for cream and jam

That's scones! And you cannot get proper cream North of Barnstaple.

Scones come off a girdle in my house. They get split and buttered, sometimes with cheese.

You are mistaken about the cream; we get superb cream up here

Crumpets. With more butter than they can hold, eaten almost too hot for the mouth. It has to be real butter though.

Only Devon and Cornwall make clotted cream worth the name though - and a scone deserves clotted cream.

I miss Devon

Crumpets every time.One loaded with proper salted butter and the other the same but with added lemon and lime marmalade.
Just bought two packs ready for the holiday.I have to beat my daughter to them though !

My daughter came round yesterday with a pack of crumpets she'd just bought. I hadn't had them for ages. Must get some more.

She had hers with thick crunchy peanut butter on. What have I brought up?
