Ricotta Crumpets

Ricotta Crumpets

Ricotta cheese is a staple in my kitchen, so making moist delicious ricotta crumpets to serve for dinner with a fresh vegetable salad is an easy decision. Jams and fruit sauces might be a more traditional topping for crumpets, but looking for a sweet and spicy twist, I topped mine with some jalapeño and apricot cheese spread. The possibilities for toppings are as endless as the imagination of the cook and they would be enjoyable for breakfast or brunch as well as dinner.

  15. These tasted great but were nothing like crumpets... more like pancakes with a slight crumpet consistency.

  16. We ate these for breakfast with maple syrup - they were delicious.

  17. How was the texture? I found that when I made mine they weren't as spongy as I like them. How did you find the ricotta? What did it add to the texture/flavor? Did the crumpets have as many holes as you'd like?
    I'm looking for the ultimate crumpet recipe as I adore them!

    Thanks!

  18. Hi Rhid;

    They didn't have as many holes as I might have liked but they were lighter than a pancake. The ricotta added a nice cheesy flavour but was not overwhelming. I am going to keep experimenting as this was the first crumpet recipe I have tried. At any rate, these WERE very good!

  19. I've just started following your blog and love it. I made some ricotta the other day, and decided to try your recipe. I added some fresh corn off the cob and served it with honey and more ricotta - yummy. Tonite I'm experimenting with chickpea flour (besan) instead of regular flour. Fingers crossed!
