A hybrid of my two favourite things: French toast and crumpets. To turn it into something more substantial, you could pop a fried egg or some fried tomatoes – or both – on top and call it dinner.
Serves 1 / Prep time: 10 minutes / Cook time: 6-8 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 free-range egg
- ¼ cup milk or cream
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 crumpets
- a decent knob of butter
- toppings — jam, honey, lemon juice and sugar, sliced strawberries, whipped cream
Method
Whisk egg, milk or cream, salt and sugar in a bowl. Dip the crumpets in the mixture, letting them soak up as much liquid as possible. Put a frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. When it foams, add the dipped crumpets. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. To serve, anoint with the chosen toppings and eat while drinking a strong cup of tea.
