As much butter as is physically possible to soak into them, then melted mature cheddar on top

As an aside, if you’ve not watched huge man-baby Gregg Wallace looking at the making of Warbies giant crumpets, it’s well worth a viewing

Taste better when toasted via open fire.

I usually prefer good quality crunchy peanut butter to normal butter

Used to do this as kids with my mum. It was great fun. Oh, we called them pikelets too as did most of our family. Mum and extended family were all from Birmingham/West Midlands.

I drawn the line at hand churned butter though!

This place is slipping.

Crumpets?
2 spins of ~3 on the toaster with a rest between.
Butter
Truffle marmite

Maybe, now and again, butter + honey.

Maybe I missed a post, but a pikelet and a crumpet are different beasts IME. Though I see that in some regions they’re synonymous.

For me a pikelet is similarly bubbly both sides. Crumpet is bubbly on one side.

Much like haloumi, I leave them in the packet and let other people eat their disgusting rubbery-ness 😃

How can you not like crumpets or squeeky cheese?

Both are the foods of the gods. Actually they’d be pretty bloody good together

Butter and marmite usually, but I did have some after Christmas with brandy butter on which was a taste sensation!

Butter and Marmite (and lick the bit off the plate that's soaked through)

I didn't realise there was any other way, other than maybe just plain Marmite, if you've run out of butter, or are out camping without a fridge or something.

+1 butter, +butter.

Sometimes cheese or an egg (or both).

Why have I never thought of trying it with Marmite! Yum.

Oh and a shout out to Warburtons for making gluten free crumpets, thank you 🥰  Sometimes hard to cook from frozen without getting a coldish soggy centre (they are denser than the normal gluten ones), but amazing from fresh.

I'm from Wolves. Pikelets are not crumpets. Pikelets are smaller / thinner.

Butter and lemon curd, fricken heaven

Pikelets are scotch pancakes to me - still nice toasted but have to be sliced a bit as the butter just runs off.

Crumpets and butter is the obvious go-to, although for real scuffer levels, not so much butter but topped with dairylea (or primula with or without ham), or Philladelphia 😀 .

Mental note made, I have some Fortnum & Mason lemon curd, but currently no crumpets.
I do concur with butter, marmite and cheese (grilled if I haven't wolfed it down already) though.

Butter and honey. Then lick the plate after. Don't have them often - they're hard to get in (central) Spain.

Did someone say margarine?!?<br /><br />

Say what now? Margarine is a crime against humanity, anyone advocating its use should be locked up for the good of society! 😖

I grill each side, then put a thick coating of butter on, so it melts right through, then grated chilli flakes and black pepper, or grate a nice crumbly, crunchy sharp extra mature cheddar, stick back under the grill to melt it nicely then on with the chilli flakes and black pepper.

I have been known to eat five at one sitting, there’s nine in a packet, and three aren’t enough. 😁
