💡 What's interesting

The unique, hole-filled texture of a crumpet is created by a batter that is allowed to ferment and is cooked only on one side, allowing bubbles to rise and set. Nutritionally, while it's a comforting energy source, the combination of refined carbs and sugars makes it a treat best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
