Several, the main one being no eggs in crumpets.

And no yeast in pancakes.

yeast infections from crumpets ?

The yeast that keeps on yeasting.

It's been known to happen, and not just from the English ones.

Pancakes don't have holes, would be my guess...

They do have big bubble-holes inside which merkin cake muffins do not.

^That's a fresh bap/barm masquerading as crumpets !

I’m guessing Capitulating based on your last thread about him.

The ones I get don’t have big holes, but unlike crumpets the jam won’t fall through the holes and land on your lap ��.

The bottom of crumpets are solid, so nothing can 'drip'.



Ready to make:



Into the rings.



Ready for toasting:



Lots of butter and honey:

Nailed it.

great effort PAG, homemade is always better. They freeze well.

Totally off topic, except I was eating muffins when I noticed, but that's the rear end of a Mk3 Shackleton (tricycle undercarriage). Any chance of a front view Looper? I did some of my training on those back in the 1970's. The ones I worked on had two Viper take-off boost engines on the outboard engines, Does your model have them fitted? You can tell by the rear of the engine on the outboards having a jet exhaust port whereas the inboards will not.

Getting back to the title of the OP. Why is crumpet ever a question?

i bow to your expertise. I don’t remember having many crumpets before. Now scones I’ve had. Is that a British thing as well?

No crumpet in Canada anyway.

This is it from the front showing its family DNA Troy.

Awesome!

I flipped her on her back for some gaping bomb-bay pornography.

But I cannot see any sign of the viper boost exhausts of which you speak.

If you have got any old photos I might jerry-rig something to bring her up to spec.

Oh, and while I am here, today's crumpet is topped off with a dash of locally grown Gold Coast kumquat preserve

try cheese

^ No, the model doesn't have the Viper engine fitted.



You can see the engine extends further than your model and has the exhaust.

Still, it was interesting to see a tricycle undercarriage Shackleton again.
