Seems pretty basic to me and only good if you butter them.

    The British call them crumpets. Yes that’s what a crumpet is, it’s an English muffin.

      This is not true. English muffins and crumpets are different things. They look similar, but the taste is quite different.

      We have muffins and crumpets. Muffins are like little bready patty cake things, kinda dusty on the outside. Crumpets are the ones with all the holes in that kinda feel rubbery to the touch. Both are stinkin delicious.

      This is a common misconception but they are not the same. Among other differences, their basic ingredients differ. Crumpets are made with milk and baking soda, while English muffins are made with dough and yeast or sourdough.
