8 craveworthy crumpets

Impress breakfast guests and show off your superb plating skills by dressing up crumpets with cinnamon, ricotta, a few slices of banana and a delicate drizzle of honey.

See all those little holes in the crumpet? They're there for a really good reason! Simply heat a crumpet and spread with a big dab of butter, then watch as the melted goodness seeps into the pockets ensuring every bite is a flavour sensation. 

Satisfy a snack attack. Crumpets make brilliant bases for all your favourite pizza toppings. Go gourmet with blue cheese and walnut or keep it simple with good ol' cheese and tomato. They all taste brill when they come out from the grill.

Move aside buns, brioche and bagels, the best burgers are assembled on lightly toasted crumpets. Don't forget the crispy bacon and tangy sauce!

Instead of using bread, use crumpets to make the most outrageous French toast ever. Coat with egg mix and fry. When they are ready, smother in chocolate hazelnut spread and a dusting of icing sugar. You're welcome!

Give a crumpet a Welsh rarebit makeover. Create a white sauce adding cheese, mustard powder and paprika. Smother over a crumpet and place under the grill until brown and bubbly. Serve with a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Yum!

Mmm, who can resist melted chocolate? No one, that's who! Cut up a crumpet into bite-sized pieces, thread onto a skewer and get dunking. Double dipping allowed! 

Dinner's done but you've forgotten dessert? Never fear, this 10-minute hack is here to save the day. Drizzle warm crumpets in caramel sauce, then serve with banana and a scoop of ice-cream. Sweet!
