Possibly because crumpets in some countries are what's known as pikelets here

No, a good English crumpet is what you want - just like the "golden crumpets" you can buy at the supermarket. I do have a recipe. Have sold out of the muffin rings at present though.

This is the recipe you want- I had to go hunting for it in ont of my old books. After they are cooked, toast them and serve hot with butter. These are slightly softer thaan the commercial variety. CRUMPETS 4 cups plain flour tbsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp sugar 3 cups lukewarm water 15g compressed yeast (1 tsp dry yeast - sift in with dry ingredients) Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into large bowl. Dissolve yeast in warm water add to dry ingredients, beat till smooth. Crumpets can be cooked in a lightly greased frying pan or electric frying pan. If using electric fry pan, heat to 260F Lightly grease muffin rings, put them in the pan to heat through. When hot, 3/4 fill with rings with batter. Allow to cook over a low heat for approx 10 mins or until surface is coveredwith holes. Remove rings. Cover pan and cook a further 2 - 3 mins. or until surface has set. Remove from pan , cool on a wire rack. When cold, toast and serve hot with butter.

Good on you. They are a great crumpet. Have had them with honey butter at one of our local cafe's in Martinborough.

it is def "F" - for electric frypan -- in "C" it would be roughly 140

No worries, the recipe is an Australian Womens Weekly recipe that I have from the early eighties and it does say farenheit in regards to the electric frypan temp. No doubt, if you are using one, you will find the temp that suits you best as you fiddle about with it.
