In 2024 I'm going to post mostly about crumpets (in order to bring them back into fashion and fulfil the prophecy).
You have got your work cut out there.
Everywhere I go now I'm offered coffee and croissants or choc au pan. Never a crumpet to be seen let alone a bacon sarnie.

Nothing wrong with a proper croissant. And coffee is a morning necessity.

Australia loves crumpets in the winter, oozing with butter and honey. Not in cafes though, they offer more "upmarket" food.

Are crumpets like scones?

The Australian version is as big across as a hamburger roll, but only as thick as a toast slice and can be toasted in most home toasters. I'm guessing an aerated unsweetened batter cooked on a hard hot surface such as a griddle. Americans wouldn't like them because they're not sweet. Mind you, honey or jam tends to get piled on ...

Nothing like scones, Crumpets are basically a collection of holes in a yeasty dough that you warm up and fill with butter then serve with a cup of earl grey tea..... I'm not selling it am I?.
