I love a crumpet. Dial turned to 6 on the toaster, crispy on the outside, squidgy in the middle.
Topping wise, I'm easy, butter, peany b, jam, paté at Christmas. All works for me. My wife is strictly butter only.
This mornings crumpets were topped with the last of the homemade plum jam. Bosh.
This got me thinking, am I alone in loving a topping on a crumpet?
Always butter and lots of it. Sometimes jam.
Not a regular crumpet eater, but I do like them, just a bit messy.
Hard to beat butter, fully melted into the holes. Peanut butter/marmite; jam; grated cheese also good.
Always tons of butter, occasionally cheese.
Only good butter! And lots of it.
Loads of butter. Black pepper.
Let the marmite and melted butter mix
Grilled until crisp on the outside then top with cheese and a bit of pepper and grill it.
Edit: Most of the time, just butter.
Butter, marmite & cheese.
Heart attack levels of butter. Doesn't need anything other.
Smear of butter and scrambled eggs. Obviously 2 crumpets minimum. 😁
cooked until crispy, butter, and a tiny bit of salt sprinkled on top
Snippet of margarine and let the honey melt it. Tend to eat them when I've got a cold/man flu. Like now.

Crumpet? ding dong!
Butter, smoked bacon, scrambled eggs and some maple syrup.
<I foresee a visit to the coop on the way home>
Lashings of butter and a good sprinkle of granulated sugar.....amazing.

It's like this post was made for you!
Cottage cheese and apricot jam. <br />Not had it in years. Might need to sort that.
Butter, thin layer of marmite, thin slices of mature cheddar.
Crumpets must be crisp on the edges and soft in middle.
Honey and Marmite (not on the same one).
Nothing beats butter, marmite, thick sliced extra mature cheddar.
Loads of butter.
Normally with so much butter it leaks through the bottom.
Also food is soaked in beaten egg before grilling to make crumpet French toast. Dash of Worcestershire and some grated cheese melted on top too.

They mix really well! Try it 🙂
@richardkennerley - you are truly an inspiration to us all
I can feel my arteries hardening just looking at that, but it looks awesome!
There”s all sorts of things that are good on a crumpet but non are better then marmite so you’d just be eating a crumpet topped with something inferior knowing there’s a jar a marmite just a few feet away and feeling cheated.
Crumpet, cheese, black pudding, bacon,
everybody talk about mmmmm pop music
Marmalade or melted cheese/Worcestershire sauce or ham and egg.
How’s about this? Crumpet, cheese, black pudding, bacon, crumpet, cheese, black pudding, bacon, hp sauce.
No. Its been adulterated
You can't just throw on anything and claim that makes it the ultimate. Thats like having Scones with cream and jam, then throwing on sliced bananas.
Just not the done thing in polite society. What you've done is turned quintessential English tea room into council estate cafe

But look at that feat of balance! Like a game of greasy jenga. The only thing missing from the spectacle is a circus ring master (standing by with a defibrillator).
However - you'd still know you had marmite in the cupboard and the whole experience would be tinged with hollow yearning.
I hope the word margarine was trolling because if not that's just a waste of crumpets.
Right..... off to buy some crumpets now.
They're not called crumpets in our house. They're known as a "butter sponge".

Tsk, STW standards are slipping! Crumpets are dead easy to make and taste way, way better than supermarket shite. Paul Holywood's recipe works really well. You just need to buy some crumpet rings first (cheap). Like the difference between a homemade sourdough and white sliced with a 2 week half life. I drawn the line at hand churned butter though!
Butter
Jam
Sometimes cheese.
LittleMissMC is a freak who adds marmite.
Yes Pikelets - the proper name for crumpets where I'm from, even though I have now conceded they are different
Anyway, either a shit tonne of butter or peanut butter and some hazelnut choc spread all mushed up so it softens and melts in
+1 for the soaking in whisked egg with chilli flakes before frying, then bacon/facon and decent brown sauce

Fresh chilli rather than flakes. Great as a breakfast pick me up as its the time of day you're most likely to rub your eyes

Yes, this. Though they are nice with a poached egg on top too.
Did someone say margarine?!?
So wrong.
Everyone else is correct. Especially those including Marmite in their answer.
